How to Reset Animal Crossing

Easily start a brand-new island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Nintendo Switch

Do you want to delete your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island and start over? Whether you want to reset your island for new villagers, a different layout, or a fresh experience, you can easily do so in a few simple steps. Be warned—you cannot retrieve the data once you reset your island. All data will be erased, and you'll be given a blank slate. You can keep resetting your island to reroll for specific layouts, fruit, or villagers. This wikiHow will show you how to reset your island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons with your Nintendo Switch.

[Edit]Things You Should Know

  • If it's your first day playing Animal Crossing and you don't like your island, you can reset the game until you get a better island.
  • If you've been playing a while and have already saved at least one game, you can clear your saved game data to start the game again from the beginning.
  • Resetting your island will erase all New Horizons data on your Switch.

Start by pressing the Home button on your joycon while the game is open.
