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.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
