### Required Reading

This will completely remove CFW from your device, including Boot9Strap and Luma3DS, for the purpose of restoring the device to stock.
|
|
|
|
This is almost never the solution to fix any issues you encounter with your CFW installation. A better idea would be to read the [troubleshooting](troubleshooting) page or ask for help at [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp).

Any unsigned (illegitimate) games will be rendered unusable and can be manually removed using the Data Management section of the System Settings. Use a [save manager](https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint/releases/latest) to backup any saves for these unsigned (illegitimate) games you care about.
|
|
|
|
This will not affect your NNID, any legitimately purchased games, or any saves for those legitimately purchased games.
|
|
|
|
If you have modified critical system software (such as editing the home menu, unbanning your console, etc), uninstalling CFW may BRICK your device!
