I'm planning on giving my CFW switch away, but want all my information and data removed. I only installed CFW and used checkpoint on the switch, do i need to a SYSNAND restore? or all I need to do is factory reset the switch so that it's like "new"?

What are the steps to make this switch "as clean and new as possible?"
Side note: it did generate 1 error log since i used the CFW

Why do you give it up ? Curiosity.

cause I don't need a second switch that's older generation XAW, even though I know the XFW model can't really be used for CFW. I'll just stick with a brand new one and may as well give the older one to someone who will be satisfied with it.

So after I use the restore the system back to before CFW, I can just factory reset it after to remove my nintendo network ID/information/saves and it'll be like new? the new person can just use it without being banned?
