Free Up Hard Disk Drive Space to Optimize Path of Exile on PS4

Here are a few ways to free up hard disk space on your PS4:

Delete Games and Apps

This is likely the biggest space hog.
Go to Settings > System Storage Management > Applications. Here, you can see how much space each game and app takes up. Select unwanted games/apps and press Options on your controller, then choose Delete.

Manage Saved Data

Game saves can take up a surprising amount of space.
Go to Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage. You can choose to delete individual saves or entire game saves.

Important: If you plan to play the game again later, consider backing up your saves to a USB drive using the Saved Data on USB Storage Device option.

Clear Capture Gallery

Screenshots and video clips you've captured can accumulate over time.
Go to Library > Capture Gallery. Select unwanted captures and press Options on your controller, then choose Delete.

4. Transfer Games to External Storage (if applicable):

Upgrade the Hard Drive of PS4

If you have an external hard drive formatted for PS4, you can transfer games to it to free up space on the internal drive. Go to Settings > Storage > System Storage > Applications. Select a game and press Options on your controller, then choose Move to Extended Storage.

5. Consider Upgrading the Hard Drive (advanced):

If the above methods aren't enough, you can replace the PS4's internal hard drive with a larger, faster SSD that is compatible with PS4. This requires some technical knowledge and is not for everyone.
