Ok it's not what it sounds like. But here goes. I'm not sure how the game will react with this one.
My GF and I share an island localy on my switch. I'm getting her a switch of her own and ACNH and figured she could start again fresh. I did blast through the early game almost week, before she started so that might not be so bad. But will she just move out from this island or do real players never leave an island. Anyone try this? She has a Nintendo account and is in my family online account.
Not sure if I should store all her stuff at my place as well that way she can get it once she gets her own place. Thanks.
 
You'll need to get the island representative to delete her character (you can do this by pressing - on the startup screen).

She won't be able to "move out" and will have to start fresh.

You can store her stuff for her and she can just pick it all back up. Only thing she wouldn't be able to keep would be her house and your villagers.
 
Cool thank you. Ya cool as long as I store her stuff it's just bells by the bag full. Haha better get to work. Thank you again.
 
Careful you don't delete the island representative instead. If you do the island will be gone.

I think you need to go in with her profile specifically to delete her character.
 
Tom nook will not allow to delete the island representative only guests as long as you don’t touch your data on your system settings you are good Tom nook explains all this when you ask for more info you can delete her data in game and all memories of her will be forgotten
 
Ok so save and exit my game. Start the game under her profile then at the title screen push - for settings and remove her save. Just want to make sure. Get the new switch Tuesday or Wednesday.
Ya I'll move all her items to storage.
Guess the only thing that is left is to decide if I charge her storage fees while she builds back up? Haha.
Thank you all again this forum is awesome.

I am thinking this is wrong. Only the GF can delete her own data.

Edit: My memory was correct. Island rep cannot delete player's saved game data.

nope the island representative can delete anyone on the island cos he or she is the island representative

Maybe in theory, but in actuality, the island rep doesn't own another person's data in real life. You are. Absolutely wrong. I just checked on my own Switch

This isn’t real life tho it’s a game xD

Well my switch I can delete my sisters data and my villagers have forgotten her so idk

the data exists in real life though, on a switch that exists in real life.

You're wrong about the rep thing, just leave it at that.

Her data is saved on his switch so if she would have to start again on a new switch and he has control over her data cos his the island rep I just leave it at that cos this is turning into a argument lol
 
Pretty sure you can delete any alternate residents you created as the town rep. Worst case scenario just start up the game on her profile and delete the save. She'll have to create a new one on her new switch anyways

On another note, while I love playing the game with people online, the thought of having to share my island with someone else is... daunting to say the least haha

Starting over again is irrelevant. It doesn't matter who owns the Switch. Her data. Her profile. I don't know why you want to argue and call me out like you're doing, as if I am in the wrong over this. It is 100% fact, that the island rep doesn't have the power to delete anyone's data. Only that player can delete their data.

I am not being aggressive. I stated a fact and got called out on it as if I am lying.

You cannot delete another player's data. The data belongs to another player. This is not an opinion. It's a fact.

All this doesn’t matter your missing the point this may be true if you own your own switch but if you share a switch and I log on my account and for example my sister shares with me I can delete her save data as the island rep by pressing the minus button in game her data will be deleted I have tested this cos I deleted my sister account cos she got her own switch I didn’t delete her profile or anything like that

Edit I am 100% sure on this cos I have tested this please step being aggressive to me I’m only trying to help someone with a question they asked

I am not missing the point. No you cannot. That doesn't not work. I already explained this.

Well Have you tested this probably not? You can delete other residents by in game by the minus button

Yes I've tested it. I wouldn't have stated it as a "fact" if I wasn't sure.

I own two alt characters on the island. The rep has no power to delete anyone's data. No even their own by pressing "-" (This requires deleting the game's data.)

I'll put a video on Twitter to prove this in 15 minutes.
