Questions about Account Deletion

What happens if someone’s PNID gets deleted? I’m just curious because I’m considering deleting it off my 3DS…

Not the one I’m using rn, the one on my 3ds.

Removing from 3DS is not the same as an account deletion.

Account deletion deletes all personal-identifying information, deletes all Juxt posts, anonymizes the Forum posts, and more that I’m forgetting.

@BilboBobie Do you have multiple PNIDs? The idea is to use one across all platforms: Wii U/3DS/Forum (Web).

I can help you if you have questions.

Yes, I mainly use the one I first created on my 3DS, The only question I have (related to removing account from a 3ds) is; “Is thee a true way to do it?” It’s ok if there’s none, but is there?

It’s very easy to remove a PNID from a 3DS 9it just takes a few steps.


1. Hold SELECT when turning on your 3DS
2. Disable the first 2 luma 3ds options, then hit START to save.
3. Open Miiverse, where you should see error code 022-5432.
4. Turn off your 3DS, and turn it back on while holding SELECT
5. Enable the first 2 luma 3ds options.
6. To check if you got it, open Miiverse again and you should see 022-5432 again.
7. Switch to Nintendo in Nimbus
8. Open eShop
9. Switch back to Pretendo in Nimbus.
10. You should see error code 015-5015. This means you are logged out of your PNID, and be able to sign in with or make a new PNID.``

Thank you! I thought it was possible to do it.

Do you have any other questions?

Yes, just two. Do I have to be in a specific software to see error 015-5015? and what happens if I don’t see error 022-5432?

015-5015 already means you have no PNID linked. You can see that when opening Miiverse (the green people icon on the home screen)
