Hardware Is there a way to factory reset a banned switch?

[Deleted User]

I was planning on selling my unpatched switch soon since covid made the prices of it shoot through the roof, and realized I couldn’t factory reset since I was banned and for whatever reason that requires an internet connection. Is there some way to do that that’s relatively simple? I have atmosphere installed rn if that matters.

Just delete all the content on the system, and on the SD, but keep in mind it doesn't get rid of the ban, the system is still ban, you can't unban yourself.

Power on the console with both volume buttons pressed. It should trigger the needed reset menu.

I don’t care for that, just wanted my personal data off the switch lol. My nintendo account is still connected for whatever reason.

I’ll check that out when I get home, thanks.
