Not sure what's going on but I restored my 7.0 clean NAND after downgrading to 6.2 to install SXOS via emunand.

Everything went through fine but I noticed that if I delete software on my NAND, a blank tile will exist on the home screen which I cannot interact with. Nothing shows up under data management. If I reinstall that exact game then the blank tiles goes away. If I delete the game again, the blank tile comes back. These were originally installed on a micoSD when I did my NAND backup

Anyone have any ideas what this is and how to fix it? Has this somehow corrupted my NAND tho I don't see how that's possible?

I dont know enough about the Switch and how it handles game installs to external media, but I'm willing to bet that they are crud left over from the game being installed to the sd card before the restore

Boot to OSX boot menu. Select OFW and immediately hold volume down and volume up. This will boot to a built in recovery mode. That's it. Shut it down and your corrupted data should he gone.

Do you mean "maintenance mode" ? Just booted into this and pressed power button. This didn't solve the problem. I guess I could initialize console eithoifdelefjng save data but I'll lose all my download games?

Damn I went as far as trying initialize console without deleting data and all these blanks tiles still exist. Am I stuck with these things?

I discovered that installing anything replaces the blank tile but those tiles seem to always exist now in my NAND. Only thing I haven't done is a factory reset. Anyway, if anyone knows how to get rid of it or has any more info, please let me know.

Did you ever restore your NAND? When did you notice the blank tiles?

yes by my NAND backup was back before I use any CFW and no games installed, and I use an empty SD card after restoring NAND so there could be no leftover files in Nintendo folder
I just noticed it about a week ago

    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
