Hardware Unlinking Nintendo Account

[andr0idjr]

Is there any way to unlink a nintendo account from the switch if you are in a lower firmware, also to "initialize console" without updating to the most recent?

I'm currently on 4.0.1 and would like to keep it on that one....

1. Calling Nintendo to un-link it for you
2. Using the leaked DevMenu app via LayeredFS to un-link it offline. Such an app is made by Nintendo so it will not be shared here in any capacity, even through PM. However, if you do manage to find it (Google is your friend), you can follow this tutorial up to step 6 to set it up: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-get-a-custom-user-icon-using-devmenuapp.508369/

Sorry man, as of 9/18 yesterday unlinking an account from the console in undoable.
Though I have tried to only delete my Switch profile which has my account linked in, and it work (cos' I can't really use a linked account if said account aren't linked to any profile). So maybe, if you aren't bothered losing all your save (from that profile) then for now thats the only way to unlink an account off of the console.
