Hacking Installing a DLC .nsp without game installed

HELP!

I have just accidentally installed (.nsp) a DLC UPDATE! I have gone to the "switch" folder and deleted the folder that had the equivalent amount of data but it is still on the home menu! I can't even press + to open up options to uninstall! I want to get rid of it.

It shows as a loading circle that never loads and takes up a slot on my home menu.

Thanks,
Ocd person

Should've been on data management menu. Otherwise just let it be instead of mindlessly deleting stuff

go to settings, data management. Should be in there as a unnamed title with no pic. Delete it from there. Also your update either didnt install correctly or is damaged, as updates will still show up as the game, just with a cloud icon next to them telling you to install the game to play it

huh? why would you go in the folder and delete stuff from a pc? you could have just press + and deleted the software from the switch's menu.

the sub menu opened by hitting + wont work if the title is messed up enough to only show as a loading circle. Pressing it does nothing

Install the game and the DLC then remove normally from the Switch data management.

I don't know for sure if this would work, but you could try installing the game it's associated with, and then uninstalling said game. It's possible that it'll take the DLC with it.

TY! These work!

Well, it's sorta like making pizza. Once you cook it, you cant make it. (if it makes sense)

Well I saw that my nsp was exactly 3.1 GB & there was a folder in the switch folder that was 3.1 GB so I deleted it. (did nothing besides deleting data)
