Hardware Remove a user without removing its purchased games

[NandoLawson]

Hey

I have a modded Wii U with 2 accounts on it. I've purchased a few games on one and also installed a few other things with it. My problem is that I want to get rid of this one without loosing the ability to use my purchased games. Is there any method to do this?

Since your console is modded, have you considered also just downloading the games and re-installing after deleting the account? Or you want them to be officially installed from the eShop?

Yea I thought about redownloading them. My problem is that I do have a pretty bad internet connection and we are talking about ~400GB that I would have to redownload. Also, I do not know if I would need to also redownload my games I've installed via WUP Installer, which would also be around 150GB.

Edit: Is there a way to extract the title keys from one account and import it to the other? That should solve the problem afaik.

400 GB? I would qualify that as more than a few games! I understand now why you're looking for a solution. Even just transferring the installation files to the SD card and installing would take ages! Good luck!

Yea that would take me a pretty long while.

Thank you

This might not be faster than redownloading but you could try to read out your external HDD with https://gbatemp.net/threads/wfsdump-pc-util-for-dumping-wfs-devices-wiiu-file-system.478480/ , then repackage the games with NUSPackager, move them to the SD and reinstall.

For the title keys: I don't think the Wii U stores them as they are only needed to decrypt the installation files.

That would be much work, but that seems to be the easiest way for now. Thank you.
