Freeing up storage space on a PS4 can often require removing games that are no longer in use. Deleting games is a straightforward process, and you can reinstall them anytime if you own the digital version or have the disc. Here’s how to delete games on a PS4.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Delete Games from the Home Screen<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Navigate to the game you want to delete on the PS4 home screen.<\/li>\n
    2. Highlight the game icon, but do not press X to launch it.<\/li>\n
    3. Press the Options<\/strong> button on your controller.<\/li>\n
    4. From the menu that appears, select Delete<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    5. Confirm your choice by selecting OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Delete Games from System Storage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This method is useful if you want to see a list of all installed games and their sizes before deleting them.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Go to the Settings<\/strong> menu on your PS4.<\/li>\n
        2. Select Storage<\/strong> and then choose System Storage<\/strong> (or Extended Storage<\/strong> if you’re using an external hard drive).<\/li>\n
        3. Select Applications<\/strong> to see a list of installed games.<\/li>\n
        4. Highlight the game you want to delete, then press the Options<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n
        5. Choose Delete<\/strong> and confirm your selection by selecting OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Delete Saved Data (Optional)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Deleting a game does not automatically remove its saved data. If you want to delete game progress or settings files, you can do so separately:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Go to Settings<\/strong> on your PS4.<\/li>\n
            2. Select Application Saved Data Management<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            3. Choose Saved Data in System Storage<\/strong> or Saved Data in Online Storage<\/strong> (if you use PS Plus).<\/li>\n
            4. Select Delete<\/strong> and then choose the game whose data you want to remove.<\/li>\n
            5. Highlight the saved data file(s), press X to select them, and then select Delete<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
