# Uninstall CFW
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
### Required Reading
## Required Reading
This will completely remove CFW from your console, including boot9strap and Luma3DS, for the purpose of restoring the console to stock.
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.
{% capture notice-6 %}
::: danger
If you're removing CFW because:
* You want to re-install it
* You want to change SD cards
* Your SD card was lost or corrupted
* One of your games is broken
* One of your system applications is broken
* Your console is unable to boot to HOME Menu
- You want to re-install it
- You want to change SD cards
- Your SD card was lost or corrupted
- One of your games is broken
- One of your system applications is broken
- Your console is unable to boot to HOME Menu
<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).

If you have done ANY of the following:
* [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.
