MTP or use Hekate -> Tools -> USB Tools to mount the SD Card.

which files to delete, i have got files with 100003333993 and next is the name of the game.
the other files have just got numbers 100989000 but no game names in front.
i am checking in switch > atmosphere>>sd card
I have put some emulators but they can only be played online...
These have take a lot of space on sd card.
how do i check which game is using which files,, so that i can delte the files..
thanks

If they end in .nsp or .xci they are install files. If you’ve already installed them and they are working, you can delete them. I don’t know what else you have on there so you’re going to have to do some research to find out.
