What size have you gained? In ko? Mb? Mo? Go?
If it's 100kb it's not the update
These are update logs.
If it's more than 100mo there I'd like to believe that the updates don't erase the old ones or overwrite them.
For example I can archive my nsp on switch, I don't have the game anymore, but I see its cover, (understand that deleting a cover from an eshop game is not the same as deleting the nsp game itself)
Metaphore
nsp = update
Cover = update log
I'm just trying to understand with you, how could nintendo do shit like that? Don't clean before or after updates? Loss of space, ram, slowdowns, all those things that are not made of origin? You have to use DEVMENU, a copyrighteous software to have a clean and optimized switch? If that's what it's bullshit from nintendo, and they have to patch it.
And that I know how to put the last capital letter of a game is enough, no need to pass each step....v1,v2,v2, etc v3 directly, so if that's always wait for the last update? Or use DEVMENU? ( copyright)
Either become, not normal behavior of a OS switch in 2018

Ah now I understand. But sorry I haven‘t looked at the sizes, just cleaned up once in a while and deleted older updates and other games I don‘t need anymore.
Perhaps anybody else could provide info on the size of older updates.
Can you confirm, in your experience, that the latest update of a game is inclusive of all content released in previous updates of a game?
There were mixed reports of whether only the latest update was needed, or if each update was needed, in this thread:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/nsp-update-versions-and-file-sizes-question.517729/
As some people noticed that the latest update NSP was smaller than the previous update(s) NSP(s).
I can confirm for Fifa 18, Hollow Knight or Mario Kart. Installed newer updates and saw in DevMenu the older one too. So I deleted the older ones and the games where running fine.
All newer updates include the older updates too. Thats why they have always a bigger download size - at least for me. Haven‘t seen a smaller update NSP yet for my games.

Sorry for the repetitive messages
I had a connection bug
Yes, that's right, I did the test.
That's why I'm surprised that the switch doesn't clean the old update.
So either wait for the last update?
or use Devmenu ( copyright,or ban,or hack switch)
So only hackers have a clean and optimized switch, the other ones....
Hs ( other console Android kitkat 4.4.4 )
And it's still the case with my gpdxd, I'm root ( legacy rom) the only way to have a clean android, because often logs remain in folders, while you delete applications, it's sad to see that on mainstream consoles, which know nothing about computers, or hacking,jailbrak, etc....
And believe me, 90% of the people around me don't know anything about computers or hacking, or have optimized their PCs
They are exactly the opposite of my little crush....

Those who complain about the performance of this or that system, are never the pirates or hackers who know the processes, ex windows10? the general public him and well they take out the oars in front of their tablet, pc, and now their consoles? Which are intended for the same general public.
At my work ( 6 smartphones, 3 tablet,4 pc portable...)People facing these little problems for us, but the noob is insurmountable, the smartphone doesn't start, or the tablet? he could throw these things in the garbage, only to have them repaired out of warranty
I am often troubleshooting android bootloop (simple process either vol+ or vol- power, etc)
People don't know how to do from 30 to 60 years old, I do their maintenance widows cleaning, because they complain and ask me to do something for them, so often that I could create a smartphone pc or other computer breakdown service company, that's the truth here around me.

I'll update this thread when its 100% safe to update
Thanks. Do you have an estimated time for when we'll know?
No, but given that the official firmware 6.0 differs slightly from the leaked one, it might take developers a little longer to add support. My best estimate would be a week but don't quote me on that.
I think I will do the update in 1 month or two, since my backup nand is in my current firmware, forced to start clean, before update the firmware 5.1.0> 6.0
By then I enjoy it, then I think in a month or two, the problems will be solved, I hope.

This is always the case with new firmware updates, everything isn't going to work 100% immediately hence why its best practice to hold off on updating to 6.0 until the hacks and CFW catch up.You're killing me.
