I have cfw and my 32gb micro sd card only has 2.88g left and I was wondering what files I have to keep and what I can delete

Why not just upgrade to 64gb?

 

[VinsCool]

Keep the games you play the most, and delete those you never use maybe.

Can't afford it + can't 3ds only take up to 32gb

3DS storage can go higher than 32gb. You'll just need to format any 64gb+ cards to FAT32 first.

u can format 64gb and up to fat32 and get it to work with ur 3ds

You can go much higher then 64GB, I have a 128GB micro SD card in my N3DS

That's just what Nintendo says, but that's not completely correct. The 3DS actually only supports FAT32, where 64GB+ use exFAT instead.
But if you actually format those SD/MicroSD cards to FAT32, they will work on the 3DS.

ho... so, what did @KunoichiZ said before you?
don't be rude... unless you are calling yourself blind and idiot...

anyway @JoshiYoshi64 as vins super cool said delete the games you dont' use.. (back in my day i only had a 2gb card on my psp, i could only store 1-2 games lol!)
maybe you have a nand backup that you did when you hacked your console (it should be about 1GB of space on the root of the sd card) you can move that to your pc, but i really recomend and most people will say to keep it on your 3ds as well in case something bad happens on your pc
if you have a cloud storage service and will not loose the password or something, you can store the nand backup in a cloud to be safe..
or if you don't care about restoring your 3ds in case something bad happens to the CFW, get rid of it (and there are plenty of people who regret not having a nand backup)

aside from the nand backup holding up 1GB (or several of them) and games and roms there is not much you can get rid of.. cfw and programs only take like 1-10MB each thing..

 

[Clydefrosch]

the only things taking much space are old cia files if you didnt delete them at install, and nand backups (look at the size of a files9 folder (or maybe its called somethingelse with 9 at the end),

 

[Giodude]

Screenshot the root and any other folders you think are taking up space. If you wanna find out, right click on a folder and click properties.

me too i got a problem of a 64GB but i need to transfer old files because i deleted the new one on my micro sd N3DS (it wont bug i just installed games and themes). Now the thing i need is to move the 3ds sd card torrent thing to my SD but it says 21,3GB. I tried SD Card Formatter,DiskGenius BUT STILL DONT FORMAT THAT THING. i know this is a 2024 comment and this is a fact in 2017 but please someone reply my comment
