How to Reset Wii Updates

The Nintendo Wii, much like any other seventh-generation home gaming console, comes with an internal hard drive that's used to store game save files, full downloaded games, and system updates. If you wish to delete these updates from your Wii, you will need to restore your Wii to factory settings by formatting your console's hard drive.
