Ever found yourself in the middle of downloading a new game on your Nintendo Switch only to be stopped by a “not enough space” message? Let’s talk about how you can free up some space on your Nintendo Switch and keep the gaming party rolling.

So, you’re wondering how to create more room on your Nintendo Switch, right? You’re not alone! With so many awesome games to play, it’s no surprise that space becomes a premium.

Quick Tips to Free Up Space

First off, let’s hit the easy button with some quick ways to clear space. One of the simplest methods is to archive games you’re not actively playing. Don’t worry, archiving doesn’t delete your saved progress; it just frees up space by removing the game data from your system.

Another way to create room is by managing your screenshots and videos. Sometimes, we don’t realize how many screenshots we’ve accidentally taken. Go through them and delete the ones you don’t need. It can free up more space than you think!

Taking It Further

If you’re still needing more space after archiving games and managing screenshots, consider purchasing a microSD card. Nintendo Switch supports microSD cards, which can massively increase your storage capacity. This means more games, more screenshots, and more fun without the worry of running out of space.

Lastly, you can also uninstall any game demos or software you no longer use. Each little bit helps in maximizing your Nintendo Switch’s storage for the games you truly love.
