Hacking CFW Deletion

[Rizado]

Okay..
First of all, is it possible to remove cfw from my n3ds xl (Probably is)
Then lets say that I removed it from my system.
If I remove cfw from my 3ds, will my installed cias still work?

only "legit" cias will still work

no legit cias (the term often refers to cias of games that can be pre-installed [because they are the only ones that matter to be legit]) . . . so no not any official game cia . . . only ones that come/came in pre-installed bundles

"What is a legit cia?" (and other noob CIA questions ANSWERED)
last years list of legit cias #30

what if you actually have some cias bought and downloaded from the eshop?

if you had a proper ticket then it should boot . . . but why would you if you have the proper ticket then you could get it from the eshop

for example some of my games were bought properly from the eshop... some DLed from freshop.

so if one were in my case to uninstall CFW then all the CIAs would go away...except ones gotten from eshop and preinstalled?

go away ? . . . no they would simply refuse to boot but otherwise you are correct

well technically they would not be shown by ofw either but they would still occupy space

Only the ones you bought, and ones installed from legit cias (you would have had to download them from a specific source) will stay. Nothing from freeShop will work at all.
