===Multiple ID0===
===Multiple ID0===
This can occur when using the same SD card on multiple consoles, or after reformatting your console without your SD card inside. This is a waste of space, as only the ''true'' id0 can be used by your console.


# Rename <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> to <code>BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code>
If you have multiple long 32 character folders(ID0) inside your Nintendo 3DS folder, follow [[User:ItsCrocoSwine/projects/3DS:Troubleshooting/multiple ID0|this guide]]
# Insert your SD card into your console and power it on
# Wait your the console to generate SD card data
#* Your applications will have disappeared. This is normal and will be resolved shortly
# Power off the console and insert your SD card into your computer
#* You should now have a newly created <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder in addition to your existing renamed <code>BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code> folder
# Determine the correct ID0 (32-character folder) in the newly created <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder.
# Write down the first few characters of the folder you see
#* This is your true ID0, which we will keep in the real Nintendo 3DS folder
# Delete the ID0 from the current <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder
# Move the true ID0 folder from the <code>BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code> folder to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder
# If it exists, move the Private folder from the <code>BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code> 3DS folder to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder


===Multiple ID1===
===Multiple ID1===
his occurs when you use multiple SD cards with the same 3DS and then merge the SD card contents together, or after restoring a backup of your SD card while there is data already on the card. Both are “valid”, but the 3DS can only read one at a time.


# Navigate to <code>Nintendo 3ds/<id0>/</code>
If you have multiple long 32 character folders(ID1) inside your ID0, follow [[User:ItsCrocoSwine/projects/3DS:Troubleshooting/multiple ID1|this guide]]
# create a folder named <code>BACKUP_ID1</code>
# Place all but 1 of the ID1 folder(s) into <code>BACKUP_ID1</code>
#* Keep the largest ID1 folder, this will likely have your actual data
# Insert your SD card into your console and power on
#* If this returned your data, you can delete <code>Backup_ID1</code>
#* If your data is still missing try one of the other ID1(s)
