If you need to format and factory reset your Nintendo Switch, follow these steps:

Hard Reset (Quick Method):
Hold down the power button until the console resets (this may take up to 15 seconds).

Release the power button, then press it again to restart the console.
If successful, your Switch should boot up as normal1.
Reset Without Losing Data:

Turn off your Switch by holding down the power button.
Choose Power Options - Power Off to close any suspended software.
Hold down the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons on the top of the console.

Press the power button to turn the console on.
You’ll see the Nintendo and Nintendo Switch logo, followed by a Recovery Mode screen.

From there, choose “Restore Factory Settings Without Deleting Save Data”. This option will keep your save data, screenshots, videos, and user information.

Factory Reset (Erases All Data):
Enter Recovery Mode using the same steps as above.
Select “Restore Factory Settings” to delete all data in the system memory.
This step is useful if you’re selling your Switch or want to wipe all data from the console1
