Hey, I was wondering what the process is for reverting the system back to OFW, so I can play online/link my shop account. I won’t be using CFW on this switch anymore, since I have it on another one. I'd like to have one "clean" and one for "hacks."

I initially updated software/firmware through the stock OFW, then began the modding process.

Everything was installed on EmuMMC on SD card, utilized exosphere for blocking Nintendo server, never touched anything on SysNAND. WiFi was turned on so I could use tinfoil, but I didn’t attempt to use eshop or play online.

Do I simply just remove the SD card? Then I can use OFW as if nothing happened?

If your sysmmc is clean you can just boot the switch without any payload. Then it will start in sysmmc.

Then you could cleanup the SD card by deleting everything except the Nintendo folder. But if your emummc was partition based you need to copy the Nintendo folder to your computer, remove the hidden partition and format your sd card and finally copy back the Nintendo folder

The emummc was partition on the sd card. If the sd card is removed/not being used, wouldn't this be moot?

Yes if you don't want to reuse the sd card then you don't have to do anything. Just start the Switch normally (without RCM)
