How do you unpair a Switch controller if you do not have a right Joycon?

I have a Switch with eight controllers paired to it, but unfortunately I’ve lost my right Joycon. To unpair controllers so I can pair more, I need to push X on the right Joycon.

Is there any way around this problem?


Go to the home menu and click on the controller settings, then go to "Change Grip/Order". From here, you should be able to disconnect the left controller from the console and press both side triggers (SL and SR) to connect it as its own controller, which should let you use it normally. Not entirely sure if this will be your solution, but it worked for me.
