I have been wondering about the Nintendo Switch Internal logs that survive factory resets. Has anyone studied on a modded switch what happens if the internal storage is filled to being 0 Bytes of internal storage left does it still keep logs somewhere internally? Is it maybe like a dedicated partition we don't see that has MBytes of data in it just for logs? If that partition gets filled what happens and how many lines of logs can be stored?

Also does the log ever get moved to the SD card, if yes the SD card can easily be zero wiped on a PC and start with a fresh log. Could be useful for new switch owners to fill the internal storage to 0 Bytes free and use the SD card for storage that will allow zero wiping the SD on the PC to wipe the logs.

I don't know this for a fact, but I assume there's always going to be a certain amount space that you can't use that only the switch can to save info such as those logs.

Switch internal storage has many partitions. You as a user can fill up only user partition.
Logs are never moved to sdcard.
