Minecraft Deleting Worlds & Not Saving World Nintendo Switch

Delia Marshall · Dec 29, 2023

I've been playing Minecraft on Nintendo Switch for some now and briefly had an issue where my microsoft account wouldn't connect and i couldn't join realms, but it fixed itself and I've been playing minecraft just fine.

Recently, yesterday December 27, 2023, I joined a world I had been playing on for days, but when I opened it, it was the wrong world. It turns out that I just assumed the world in the top was my most recent world but my world had disappeared and I instead clicked on a world from April.

After quitting that world, it disappeared. My world's dates are all from April and before when I've made plenty of worlds after that.

Everytime I open a world then save and quit, the worlds disappear entirely and I don't know what to do about that.

When I make a new world, interact with it, then save and quit, that world does not save.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing the cache through the app, restarting my device, nothing is working and I am only having this problem on my Nintendo Switch. Storage is not my issue as I am not low on storage space on either my console or my SD card.

This is extremely frustrating for me.

Unfortunately when you delete a minecraft world is permanent.

I'm sorry):

Hi Jeradna! I hope you are well, delighted to be able to offer you my help!

I found a thread on Nintendo Support regarding the problem you are having. Follow these steps:

1. Go to system settings on your switch
2. Go to the data management tab
3. Go to manage saved data/screenshots and videos
4. Go to Delete saved data
5. Delete Minecraft save data (NOT NINTENDO SWITCH EDITION) for YOUR login. This erased my existing worlds, but it was worth it in my opinion. There may be a way to not delete your worlds, but I don't know how.

I hope this information is valuable to you, otherwise let me know, I will be attentive to continue helping you.

Best regards,
Daniel.

Once you delete a saved world there is no way of getting it back. Anyway try with Mojang support if they can help you.

Hi.

I have pasted a response by a moderator in previous post about this problem, hope it helps!

Go to your system settings on your switch
Go to data management tab
Go to manage save data/screenshots and Videos
Go to Delete save data
Delete the Minecraft (NOT NINTENDO SWITCH EDITION) save data for YOUR login. This deleted my worlds that I already had but it was worth it in my opinion. There might be a way to not delete your worlds, but I do not know how.

So what this will do is reset your game basically and now you will be able to log into your microsoft account again. It worked for me the second time so if for whatever reason it doesnt work again, you can keep doing this process
