I know it is adviced against but I have my reasons. Deleting many hundreds of titles via "delete save data" takes incredibly long and is tedious.
I tried to delete my user account to delete all according saves. But for some reason I got an error. Saying "2155-8035" please try again later. if the problem persist try perform update
So then upon recommendation I tried gold leaf to unlink account, and then delete it.
That worked. However all my saves were still there!!! Horrible.
I started thinking I can access my nand via NXMTP, and I found the "user\save" folder and the "user\saveMeta" folder. I moved all these files to PC and I rebooted the switch.
Upon reboot, I see my reclaimed nand storage space, however, it still takes a long time to load the "delete saves data" screen.
Because the switch still thinks I have savegames for them, eventhough they are not physically present.
Now I know a factory reset might be a solution. But thing is I have a preference, to have all my icons in all software saved. I don't want to reopen my games. Which would A. Take a long time. and B. Create again new savegames which I don't want.
So my question with this topic is, how do I remove the leftover savegames, or list thereof?
I noticed that system\save also is present. But im a bit scared to do anything there. Would the switch techincally function if i moved some stuff out of there?
Full screenshot of all files present:

If I look 00000000000006b0 folder is the only one that has been edited anywhere recently (today)
Since I tried creating a new save for a game to see if it had issue creating a new save with my new profile.

Also does anyone know what this file is? it is 156 MB. I ask because I have 25.8GB free upon clearing my saves. I think it should be 25.9GB.
