I have a 3DS that came with a game pre-loaded on it. How would I go about deleting the game (NOT the data if possible) off of the system to free up space? And since I never actually received a game code or cartridge, how would I go about re-downloading that game?

Best Answer
Yes, you are able to delete a pre-loaded game from your 3DS (as it is treated as a eShop purchase).
You can redownload it as any other eShop game that you have purchased in the past.
You need to be logged in a Nintendo Network ID account so the game is linked, since you need a NNID to be able to enter eShop, that souldn't be an issue.
Here you can read further in detail.
