Oh, wanna start over, huh? To factory reset Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you gotta go hard - literally, because it's all about the system settings. First, close the game. Head to your Nintendo Switch's Home screen, dive into System Settings > Data Management > Delete Save Data. Then find Animal Crossing and say bye-bye to your island. Just like that, you're ready to begin anew!

If you're hoping for an in-game reset button, sorry, it's a no-go. The only way to start fresh is to delete the save file directly from the Switch's system settings. It's a bit of a hassle but totally worth it if you're looking for that clean slate experience.

Just delete the save data lol. System settings > Data management and you'll find it.

Be careful, though! Once you delete your Animal Crossing: New Horizons save data, there鈥檚 no turning back. All your progress, your meticulously placed furniture, those rare bugs and fish collections... *poof* gone. Make sure you really want to say goodbye to your current island life before taking the plunge!
