How to uninstall or remove games and users from PS4

Currently there is an addiction that has millions of people in front of the screens and those are video games, if you have a PS4 console you can download the games from an Android mobile or from the PlayStation Now.

There are so many games that the memory of the consoles is not so large as to store the data of your games and the weight of the game itself, the best option to continue enjoying the games that you are so passionate about is to erase them completely from your console .

It sounds scary, since deleting a game means deleting your game, throwing away all those hours of play that were well spent, but there is no need to fear, if you want to know how to uninstall or delete a game from the PS4 without deleting your effort , keep reading.

Delete a game from your PS4 console

First of all you should know that when you delete a game your data will not be lost thanks to the fact that it will continue to be stored in the memory of the console thanks to the fact that they weigh less than the game. The installation data has nothing to do with the saved data . Leave the crisis behind and relax a bit, to eliminate the games you must do the following:

  1. First turn on your console and enter the user profile.
  2. Select the game you want to delete.
  3. There will be no need to go into crisis, since once the game is uninstalled later, you can reinstall it and return to where you left off.
  4.  Take control of the console and press the little button for “Opstions . 
  5. After performing this action, a menu will appear on the screen, and there you must select the “Delete” option with the X button.
  6. Now the system will ask you for a confirmation, once you select “Accept” you will have to wait a while for the game to be completely removed from the console.
  7. Once this step is complete, the removal is complete and the console space will have increased a bit.
  8. If at any time you feel like playing it again, you will only have to use the CD to install it again.

It is as easy to do as applying the cheats for PS4 , and even if it hurts for a few moments later you will be able to resume the games you had saved. It will be as if nothing ever happened. But this happiness will not be the same when deleting a user from your console, since doing so will lose all the data of the game, but there is an effective way to prevent this from happening.

Storage data

  • The solution is to upload the data to online storage. To do this, follow these short steps:
  1. Go to “Settings”.
  2. Select the option “Management of saved data of the application.
  3. Finally you must choose the option “Data saved in the system storage”.
  4. Select all the data of the games that you do not want to lose.
  5. Choose “Load” and in a matter of seconds you will have a restoration copy of your saved games.

Once these steps are carried out, all your data will be stored and you will not lose it even if you delete a user from your PS4. Now you only have to delete the account of the extra users from your console, and for this you must follow the following steps:

  1. First you must log in to the main profile of the console.
  2. Go to “Settings” .
  3. Among the multiple options that will be presented, you must choose the one that says: “Users” .
  4. Once there, a list will appear with all the users created on the PS4 console .
  5. Choose the user you want to delete and press the X button.
  6. To finish, the system will ask you to confirm your actions, select “Confirm or Accept” and the user will be deleted.

As soon as you have carried out all the explained steps, log into the account of the main user of the console again, to make sure that the modifications made have been carried out.

If you want to delete more than one user, you will have to perform the same procedure over and over again, and then make sure of the changes, although it is best to first check that all the data that these users have is well saved, so you do not have to regret it later of your decisions.
