Want to free up some space on your PlayStation 4? Deleting games is a straightforward process, but the exact steps depend slightly on whether you're deleting a digital or a physical game. Let's break it down:

Deleting Digital Games

Digital games, downloaded from the PlayStation Store, are easy to remove. Here's how:

1. Navigate to the Game: From the PS4 home screen, locate the game you wish to delete.

2. Press the Options Button: On your DualShock 4 controller, press the "Options" button (it's the button with three vertical lines). A menu will appear.

3. Select "Delete": In the options menu, you should see an option to "Delete". Select this.

4. Confirm Deletion: The PS4 will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the game. Select "OK" or the equivalent confirmation button. This will permanently remove the game and its save data unless you've backed it up separately.

Deleting Physical Games

Removing a physical game (a disc-based game) involves a slightly different process, as it doesn't directly delete anything from your hard drive. However, you can remove the game's data from your system:

1. Remove the Disc: Eject the game disc from your PS4 console.

2. (Optional) Delete Game Data: Even with the disc removed, the PS4 may retain save data and other game files. You can navigate to the game's entry on the home screen, follow steps 2-4 from the "Deleting Digital Games" section to remove this data. This will delete your save data unless you've backed it up separately. Note that you'll need to reinstall the game from the disc if you wish to play it again.

Important Considerations

• Save Data: Deleting a game usually deletes your saved progress. Always back up your save data to the cloud or an external storage device if you want to keep your progress.
• Game Updates: Deleting a game will also remove any associated updates and patches.
• Reinstalling: If you delete a digital game, you can usually redownload it from your PlayStation Store purchase history at no additional cost. Physical games require the disc to be reinserted.

By following these simple steps, you can efficiently manage your PS4's storage space and keep it organized. Remember to back up your save data!
