Now, if you can see that there is no space left to install or download any new data on your PS5, try deleting some of the unused or unnecessary content from the system to free up some storage space.
However, if there is enough storage space left but the system is telling you the same, not enough storage left then you should perform a factory reset your console before going to any conclusion. Make sure to take a cloud data backup of your games, saved game data, settings, etc.
2. Delete Data from PS5
As mentioned above, if you have seen that there is no enough storage space left, try deleting the unused data from the system and check for the issue again.
- Make sure to highlight the data you want to delete.
- Next, press the Select button and choose Delete.
- This will remove the data from the system storage.
- Now, you’ll need to highlight the content from the home screen > Press Options button and select Delete to remove the data from the home screen.
3. Extend Storage via USB Drive
If you really want to extend your storage without deleting anything from your console then you should try using the USB Drive storage. Just format the USB flash drive in FAT type as extended storage on your console and it’ll be ready to use.
Meanwhile, the PlayStation Plus subscription packs users can easily use storage to save data in the cloud. It’s another good way to keep your system storage free enough.
