How to Delete a Resident in Animal Crossing
Oh, wanna say bye-bye to a villager, huh? Just hit up the settings when you're on the Animal Crossing title screen. There’s this cool dude Tom Nook who'll walk you through the steps. Choose the 'Save data settings' and then 'Delete resident registration.' But remember, once they're gone, they're gone for good along with their house and everything they did!

Quick tip: If you're just trying to get rid of an unwanted villager and not delete your whole character, ignoring them totally or complaining to Isabelle in Resident Services sometimes does the trick! Less drastic than wiping them out entirely.
Deleting a resident wipes all their progress. Be sure it's what you really want. Personal experience here, regretted it!
Just don't like someone? Talk to Isabelle, she knows how to handle the troublesome villagers. Trust.
