If you want to totally remove the hack (I sell hacked 3DSes and a client wanted a stock one) - read this. https://3ds.guide/updating-a9lh (There is an option to removing it as well.)

But everything should work fine with the proper files on the sd card. If you don't want A9LH, you can potentially ignore everything (FBI included).
Thanks, will read it later when I get home

Oh wow, being able to buy a cfw system on accident isn't something you see every day. Like some other people have said if you really just want a stock system then you can Uninstall the hacks, and I think you should be able to restore the original health and safety app too(I know it's possible, but I've never done it without the original app to inject in the first place). What people haven't mentioned do far, which actually bothers me a bit tbh, is that the benefits of a hacked system are not limited to piracy. Before you uninstall this and have a vanilla system you may want to look around the forums and see what's available to you. Not everyone here is focused on stealing games =P

Some people just want a vanilla console so it's easier not to mess things up. I have clients who have kids and they can/and will delete stuff using FBI.

I can totally remove by following the steps in there, or is there another part I have to follow which lets me totally remove it?

We highly recommend you don't remove A9LH/CFW. Depending on your system version, it would be very difficult to reinstall A9LH/CFW after it's removed. In addition, the system is more valuable with it than without it.

And as many of us have already said, you can ignore the hacks if you choose to, and you're not going to notice the difference.

Edit: I should also mention that having A9LH is a form of brick-protection. If something goes wrong at the software level, it gives you the opportunity to fix things.

This will still leave you with FBI and tickets from previously installed games.
Oh okay thanks :)

Yeah I decided not to tamper with any of it (since it's clearly obvious that I have no experience with it at ALL :rofl2:). I'll keep it and maybe use it in the near future.

Great choice! If you plan to use them, please update A9LH (https://3ds.guide/updating-a9lh).
As for must have homebrew apps, I'd recommend you to install StarUpdater-UN (and if you want games, freeShop) using the TitleDB option in FBI. StarUpdater-UN is a Luma3DS CFW updater.

You can also make a copy of your NAND as is, which can help save you from potential problems with the system software that you would otherwise not be able to easily avoid without a9lh. As others have said, there's nothing wrong with keeping it as is and just pretending it's not there. You can still do EVERYTHING you could do without it.
