Arqade Asked by Paz on February 20, 2021
I am running out of space on my PS4 1TB. I’m like about 800GB occupied and just few tenths of GB left considering some space is required for the OS and other stuff.
What can I do to free up some space?
If I remove downloaded games, am I going to be able to download them again?
Is it possible to shelve/archive games or apps that I do not use often to shrink them?
Is it possible to move stuff onto a secondary usb drive?
Check your screenshots. PS4 ALWAYS does a screenshot when you get a trophy. And that can get heavy after a while. There is also a setting (I can't remember where) where you can request your PS4 do not take an automatic screenshot when getting a Trophy.
If you have downloaded games with PSN, yes, you will always be able to redownload them with no fee. They are on your account. But there are some caviats
You didn't ask, but on PS4 the Game and its save games are separate. Check what you are deleting (if its MB its probably the save file. If its GB its the game) and if you delete the game but keep the savefile, you can reinstall the game and still have the save file. For online games (like COD) there is no savefile to speak of. Your profile is on COD servers.
I do not know of any way to archive games or zip them for later. Due to point 2, I always just delete them from the hard disk.
I would not invest in an external hard disk just for that. Really, with 1TB you must have something like 10-15 games installed at least? Pretty sure you dont regularly switch between them? Just look at the games you havent touched in a while and delete them. Anyways, like I said, you will not lose save games. You'll just have to download/install them again next time you want to play.
