What exactly does 'Delete all data' do?

So I want to remove/get rid of my inactive account, but I am not sure if it is something that can be done with this option.
What does this do exactly?

Also, I don't want to lose my forum account to this.

 

It removes the rest of your data altogether, no matter how much.

 

I am a bit confused on what you said. Have you done it before, what range of things did it delete, such as the linked forum account.

 

I have done the data deletion once or so at the time when I had my first DSi at the age of 8. In the system settings menu on it, I tried to manually format all the data, figuring out how data formation works exactly when it comes to it, after reading the following messages all the way to the end of them. Once I pressed OK, it then did the process automatically just to quickly remove such data entirely within my device based on its statistics. This includes saved media and game data. (Now are you confused?)

 

Ah so it just removes data stored on your device associated with the game, or were you explaining otherwise. I didn't understand what you meant by DSi though.

 

It is actually referred to as Nintendo DSi, a double-screen device created in late 2008 by Nintendo. By the way, I notably was using this system as an example in my reply to explain how I basically discovered the process of deleting data, especially on an hourly basis.

 

So you were talking about deleting data stored on the device in general? Do you by any chance know what the 'Delete All Data' button deletes, from experience or otherwise?

 

Once again, I was using it as an example, not generally.

 

Dgrif12 The delete all data button deletes your personal information(first name, last name, and gender) from in your account. That is all it does.

 

I can second that

 

Me too.

 

Yeah, it's just bad wording.
It means "clear personal data", as in name and gender.

 

After reading through this thread i would like to apologise on nicolas behalf.
He obviously had no idea what you were talking about and wasted your time. Im pretty sure he is a troll
