Homebrew Question After using Homebrew most of my games are corrupted!?

[xXxSwagnemitexXx]

After using Homebrew for a while, I thought it was pretty cool. But a few days ago, just before i was gonna go on Holiday, i tried to play VS Super Mario Bros, and it said the game was corrupted. I tried redownloading but it still didn't work. So I tried to play another game, and that was corrupted too. Now only a few games and my cartridges work. Im pretty sure this is Homebrew because it started after I had used Homebrew. Is there any way to fix this?

EDIT: I forgot to say, my Switch randomly shuts down sometimes.

Once, Kirby Star Allies got corrupted for me, but redownloading fixed it, and it was most likely because i forgot to safely eject the sd card. Not sure what your problem is. Which homebrews did you run?

Format your sd card and re download your games.

Your save data isn't stored on the sd card. It is stored on the nintendo switch. And if you don't trust me, then use checkpoint to backup saves and put them on the computer.

Saves are saved to the console not to the sd card. I would delete the corrupted games then copy the nintendo folder on your sd card to your computer format the sd and copy nintendo folder back to sd and redownload the games that were corrupt.

I had a spare 16gb sd card laying from an old phone and use specifically for hombrew. It is a little annoying to keep switching back and forth from my 128gb
But it keeps my downloaded games safe. Just a suggestion.
