How to Delete a Mii on Tomodachi Life

Last Updated: August 6, 2022

Perhaps you have reached the 100 Miis limit on your island, or perhaps you have simply created a Mii you don't like. Whatever your reason, deleting Miis on Tomodachi Life is a simple process, requiring just a few taps of the screen.

Steps

1
Go to the Town Hall. The Town Hall is found between the apartments and houses and below the interior store. It is represented by a blue icon on the touch screen. Tap the icon twice, or tap it once and then select Enter.
2
Select Mii List. This option is found between the Mii List and Kid Info at the top. It has a picture of a face to the right of three pink rectangles.

3
Choose how you want to view the Miis. You have the options of by Name, Nickname, Gender, Year Born, Birthday and Personality. How you view them depends on what is easiest for you, there is no right or wrong way.
4
Select the Mii you wish to view. You can select this from the list on the bottom of the screen. There might or might not be a pencil icon next to the Mii's name. This simply shows whether or not the Mii has an assigned creator.
- After selecting, you will be greeted with the screen split in two as pictured above. On the left is the picture of the Mii and their nickname. On the right, the profile of the Mii which shows their full name, birthday, age, gender, whether or not they are a child, their personality and their creator. If you press the L or R buttons on the side of your DS, you can see their relationships (this includes friends, special someone, spouses, parents, and children).
5
Select the Erase option. The Erase option is an orange button at the bottom of the touchscreen, alongside an arrow button to go back to the town hall, an Edit button, and an option to Go To Room.
6
Select the Yes option. Once you choose to delete the Mii, a message should appear saying, "This will remove [Mii's Name] from the game. Do you really want to erase this Mii?" and a No and Yes option.
7
Decide if you are willing to pay in-game money. To delete a Mii on Tomodachi Life, it costs 21 of the in-game currency. A message should appear saying "You have to pay [price] to erase a Mii. Do you want to continue?". If you wish to continue, press Yes, otherwise, select No.
- Keep in mind this isn't a lot of money in the game and there are many ways to earn back that money easily.
8
Press OK. Once you have deleted the Mii, a message should appear saying "[Mii's Name] seems to have moved away somewhere...". Press OK to show you have acknowledged this.
9
Save the game. At the bottom right corner of the touchscreen, there is an orange button labeled Save with a picture of a pencil and book. If you choose to save a message should appear, saying "Would you like to save your progress?", select Yes.

How do you get Tomodachi?

Tomodachi Life can be bought as a game card from many different stores. You can also install Tomodachi Life in your 3DS from the Nintendo eShop. Both methods cost money.
Question

Can you delete your own look-alike? And what happens if you delete a Mii in a relationship?

Ruby

Top Answerer

If you try to delete your own lookalike, a message will appear saying "This Mii is your own lookalike, so cannot be erased!" Deleting a Mii in a relationship will simply break up the relationship, and act like it never happened. The other Mii in the relationship will not be affected, apart from no longer being in a relationship.
Question

Why does it cost money to erase a Mii?

Ruby

Top Answerer

It is most likely to prevent you from making too many Miis and then deleting them. Some features of the game can only be unlocked after you have a certain number of Miis on your island. If it didn't cost money, it would make unlocking these features too easy.

Warnings

Deleting a Mii isn't reversible, make sure you are confident in your decision. All progress made with that Mii made will be gone. This includes friends made, items given, leveling up, etc.
