'''Erase Data''', previously known as '''Backup Clear''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', is an option in the first three installments of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. It allows the player to erase any specific data in the game, such as high scores, [[Trophy|trophies]], [[unlockable character]]s, and [[unlockable stage]]s. In all three appearances, the option to erase singular categories of data is available, alongside an "Erase All" ("ALL Data Clear" in ''Smash 64'') option.

If the player chooses to erase all data, there is no way to recover it when erased. As such, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' advises players to create a copy of the data onto a separate [[memory card]]. However, this is only possible in ''Melee''. The game data for ''Smash 64'' is directly saved to the [[Nintendo 64]] game cartridge, and the game data for ''Brawl'' cannot be copied from one [[Wii]] to another (nor to an [[SD Card]]).
If the player chooses to erase all data, there is no way to recover it when erased. As such, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' advises players to create a copy of the data onto a separate [[memory card]]. However, this is only possible in ''Melee'' alongside the Virtual Console version of ''Smash 64'' (which can have data copied to an SD card instead). The game data in ''Smash 64'' saves automatically to the [[Nintendo 64]] cartridge while the game data in ''Brawl'' cannot be copied from one [[Wii]] to an [[SD Card]] without modding, though a non-modded Wii does allow a ''Brawl'' save already on an SD card to be copied to the system memory.


Neither ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' nor ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' have an "Erase Data" option, making it impossible to selectively erase any specific data. In both versions of ''Smash 4'', players can erase all data by holding A, B, X, and Y (though in the [[Wii U]] version, it only works with the [[Wii U GamePad]]) on the startup and selecting "Yes" three times when prompted (just like in ''Brawl'' for "Erase All"). In ''Ultimate'', the player can manually erase all data under the "Manage Save Data/Screenshots and Videos" option of the Data Management section in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s System Settings; due to this, a built-in application is not included.
