I need help, everytime I attempt to play a game on my switch, in this case: Persona 5 Royal, it keeps saying either "Corrupted Data has been found" or "An error has occurred" this happens every time I attempt to redownload a game, and when I AM successful in redownloading something, it causes another game to have this same issue, I'm at my wits end here

• Which microSD card size should I choose?

･ Will you buy more physical or digital games?
･ The base Switch and Switch Lite have 32GB of internal memory, while the OLED has 64GB.
･ Check install data size of games you want to play.
･ Firmware update, Save data, screenshots, video recordings and DLCs can take up storage space as well.
