You can pass. Whether due to a power cut, a “crash” of the console or other circumstances, we can see ourselves in the position that we receive the error “Damaged data” or “Corrupted Data” on the PS4 when starting a game or even loading a saved game. But do not despair, because it has a solution and in this article we are going to show you how you can solve it in just a few minutes.
This “damaged data” or “corrupted data” error usually appears if you turn off the console or the power goes out while installing a game or loading a saved game, and is generally accompanied by the error codes ” CE-34875-7 “Or” NP-32062-3 “, and refers to the fact that the data of a specific game has been corrupted. But as we said you do not have to despair, because the solution is very simple and you can try in several different ways.
You must bear in mind one thing, and that is that this error can come out because the installation of a game (easily solvable), a saved game (it is also easy to solve but you lose that game) or because the entire file system of the PS4 has crashed (longer but just as easy to fix).
Fix data corrupted error on PS4
One of the easiest methods to fix corrupted data on the PS4 is when you get the error in a game that is already installed. In that case, you simply have to access the system storage and delete the game and then reinstall it again . Simple as that. Do not worry if you had saved games because in that case they are separate and you will not lose them.
If the problem is that it won’t let you load a saved game, then we’re afraid you’ll lose it. You must go back to the system storage, but in this case instead of deleting the game you must access the saved games and delete the corresponding one .
There is also the option that the game has been desynchronized with the console and that you only need to restore the licenses of the games associated with your account. In this case, simply go to Settings -> Account Management -> Restore licenses.
It is a simple process that only requires you to arm yourself with patience while it finishes, since depending on your Internet connection in the console it could take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Restore the PS4 database
If your problem is not related to a single game or save game, and the console doesn’t even start giving you the data corruption error, then things get a bit complicated. But just a little.
You must start the PS4 in safe mode (this is done with the console off, holding down the power button until you hear two “beeps” (one when pressing the button and another a few seconds later).
Wait for it to start up and, in the menu that appears, simply select the option « Rebuild Database « with the command . To be able to use the controller in this mode you must connect it with the USB cable to the console, by the way, since the wireless mode does not work .
After a few minutes (it depends on whether you have a normal PS4 or the Pro, and the capacity of your disk) the database of the console disk will have been rebuilt, and if everything has gone well it will restart and it will start normally without that you’ve lost nothing, and with the corrupted data working again just as it should.
If doing this does not work and you are still in the same position, we fear that then you will have to go back to safe mode and select option 7 to reinstall all the console software. You can also do it by hand, for which we have a complete tutorial.
