Step 1: Back Up Your Data

Before you reset your 3DS, it's important to back up any important data such as game saves and downloaded content. You can use the built-in backup feature or transfer the data to a computer or external storage device.

Step 2: Access System Settings

Once your data is safely backed up, power on your 3DS and navigate to the System Settings from the Home Menu.

Step 3: Initiate the Reset

Scroll through the options in System Settings and select 'Other Settings.' From there, choose 'Format System Memory' to initiate the reset process.

Step 4: Confirm the Reset

The system will prompt you to confirm the decision to format the system memory. Be sure to read and understand the warnings before proceeding.

Step 5: Complete the Reset

If you're certain that you want to proceed with the reset, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process. Your 3DS will restart and be restored to its factory settings.

Step 6: Restore Your Data

After the reset is complete, you can restore your backed up data to the 3DS. This will bring back your game saves, downloaded games, and other content.

And that's it! Your Nintendo 3DS is now reset and ready to use. Just remember that performing a factory reset will erase all of your personal data and settings, so be sure to back up anything important beforehand.
