Whether you’re just tired of the same old game or you’re trying to troubleshoot some bugs, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of how to delete your Pokémon Sun save file.
#### Step 1: Locate Your Save Files
First things first, you need to find where your save files are stored. This process can vary slightly depending on the device you’re using.
– **Nintendo 3DS**: The save files are typically stored in the “Nintendo 3DS” folder on your SD card.
– **Nintendo 2DS**: Similar to the 3DS, the save files are found in the “Nintendo 3DS” folder on your SD card.
– **PC**: If you’ve transferred your save file to your computer, it should be in the Pokémon Sun game folder.
#### Step 2: Backup Your Save File (Optional)
Before you delete your save file, it’s always a good idea to backup. This way, if you make a mistake or just want to return to your old game, you can easily restore your progress.
– **Nintendo 3DS/2DS**: Use the “Copy” feature in the System Settings to backup your save files to an SD card or to the Nintendo eShop.
– **PC**: Copy the save file to a different folder on your computer.
#### Step 3: Delete the Save File
Now that you’ve backed up (if you chose to), it’s time to delete the save file.
– **Nintendo 3DS/2DS**: Open the “System Settings” and go to “Data Management.” Select “Nintendo 3DS” or “Nintendo 2DS,” then “Save Data.” Find your Pokémon Sun save file and delete it.
– **PC**: Simply delete the Pokémon Sun save file from the game folder on your computer.
#### Step 4: Restore Your Backup (If Needed)
If you backed up your save file, you can now restore it. Just follow the steps in Step 2 in reverse.
– **Nintendo 3DS/2DS**: Use the “Copy” feature in the System Settings to restore your save files from the SD card or the Nintendo eShop.
– **PC**: Copy the backup save file back into the Pokémon Sun game folder on your computer.
