Account deletion?

[Choook]

Is account deletion possible and safe? I want to use a different username but I’m worried if I delete the account using the 3DS NNID menu it might cause issues. I don’t think there was an option to just log out.
Apologies if I’m being silly.
Cheers!

You should be able to log out using this method:

Pnid deletion request (for this account)

I think I’ve found it. Could you open up Luma3DS settings and make sure that Enable loading external firms and modules and Enable game patching is disabled? Once your 3DS has booted up, power it off again and re-enable those settings and the PNID should be unlinked (you should be able to tell if you see 022-5432 when opening up something like Miiverse). Then, follow our usual troubleshooting tips for 022-5432: Open Nimbus Switch to Nintendo servers Open eShop (if user has an NNID) Exit eSho…

To answer your other question here, deleting accounts from a 3DS doesn’t currently work because the console attempts to connect to the eShop API during account deletion, and Pretendo doesn’t host an eShop server.

If you would like to delete your account after logging out, you can request an account deletion in a new forum topic.
