How to Remove Incorrect Language Packs and Other Downloaded DLC

In this article, you'll learn how to delete DLC, such as language packs, and redownload a game without also redownloading the DLC from Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.

Information:

DLC cannot be deleted independently of the game it is associated with. However, if you delete the game, you can redownload only the game afterwards, without downloading the DLC.

  • Downloadable content (DLC) is digital content for a game. The full game is required to access DLC.

Complete These Steps:

  • Make sure your console is running the most recent system version.

  • Highlight the game for which you want to remove DLC on the HOME Menu and press the + Button.

  • Select Data Management, then Delete Software.

    • This will not delete any save data.

  • Select Delete to continue.

  • Load the game through the virtual game card menu. Be sure to only load the game, not the DLC.

  • The game will begin downloading automatically without the DLC.

  • If you wish to redownload some of the DLC later, follow our steps on How to Redownload Nintendo eShop Content for Nintendo Switch.
