Any unsigned (illegitimate) games will be rendered unusable and will be removed during this process. Use a [save manager](https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint/releases/latest) to back up any saves that you care about.
<u><strong>STOP!!!</strong></u> Uninstalling custom firmware is an unnecessary risk that will at best waste your time and at worst <u><strong>BRICK</strong></u> your console. A better idea would be to ask for help at [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp).
* [Changed the region](region-changing) of the console
* Installed a custom keyboard
* Installed a custom HOME Menu (*not* a custom theme)
* Manually changed the encryption key (`movable.sed`) of the console
* Unbanned the console
then uninstalling CFW <u><strong>WILL BRICK YOUR CONSOLE</strong></u>. If this applies to you, [restore a clean NAND backup](godmode9-usage#restoring-a-nand-backup) before continuing.
+ Failure to remove all CFW software from both the 3DS and DSiWare sections before uninstalling CFW may prevent or disable access to the Data Management menu after uninstalling CFW, which will make it difficult to re-install CFW in the future
