You can actually make the account act like it has no NNID and remove it directly from the user settings as normal, which should also remove most left overs from the account.
Tried this but it completely f**ked up the user account, so the Wii U could no longer use it and forced to create a new user. This ofc. changed the user ID, so now the old saves don't work anymore...

So to all people reading this: Take it with a grain of salt. It might work in most cases but sometimes there seem to be issues.

That's unfortunate, if I'm not mistaken I did the entire process while logged into a different account, so I had at least two users on my console during the time I did that myself. (in case these details are of some relevance.)

same issue, what's the fix?
Hi, I did it, earlier it was not working.
(I've Tiramisu and Aroma on console, default user without NintendoID)
Boot into tiramisu (on my console I can chose while booting by holding X), run Homebrew Launcher, run FTPiiU Everywhere, find that folder to delete (lets say. 80000005) and delete it.
Edit common.dat file by deleting 80000005 and add 00\ but not in place where was 80000005 but just before 00\, for ex.
before
PersistentIdList=80000005\08000000b\08000000c\08000000f\080000010\080000011\080000012\080000013\00\00\00\00\0
after
PersistentIdList=08000000b\08000000c\08000000f\080000010\080000011\080000012\080000013\00\00\00\00\00\0
and save it to console.
Then exit FTPiiU, Homebrew Laucher and Mii Maker and tap icon of user and Switch User.
Old account still appears but without its icon. Now chose accout to Start as other user (I switched to user with NintendoID connected). When everything is loaded turn console off from gamepad (by power button).
Then turn it on but to Aroma (on my console it is default).
After that i've no old user on my console.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    isn't this proccess be done while you're offline?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.

    300 bucks hmmm lol
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm almost certain fucking Google fibers modems blocking out PPPoE signals
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like the 6th time I had to reboot this router trying to get PPPoE active
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry. Can't you turn POE on/off in your WiFi settings page? Or is it not staying on?

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
