Your PlayStation console might be loaded up with content you don't need – and didn't know was there. But don't worry, there's a simple solution that takes just seconds.
Hidden files eating up your storage
Video games can take up a significant amount of storage, and your PlayStation 5 may not have enough space for all your favorite games. But did you know that hidden files on your PS5 could be silently stealing your precious storage? It's all part of the Trophy system, which automatically captures footage when you earn achievements in games. This means that every time you earn a Trophy, your console saves a 15-second video and a screenshot. Over time, this can eat up a significant amount of storage space.
How to free up storage
Fortunately, there's a simple fix. Just follow these steps:
- Go to Settings > Captures and Broadcasts > Auto-Captures > Trophies.
- Uncheck the Save Trophy Videos tickbox.
- Delete any Trophy videos that you no longer want from your media files.
By doing this, you can save a considerable amount of storage space on your PS5.
Other tips to save storage
In addition to deleting Trophy videos, there are a few other tricks you can try to free up storage on your PS5:
- Delete Astro's Playroom: This game comes pre-installed on every PS5 and takes up around 11GB of storage. If you've already played it or have no plans to, deleting it can instantly free up space.
- Customize your game downloads: Some games, like certain Call of Duty titles, come in chunks. You can choose to install only the parts of the game that you want to play, saving storage space.
By following these tips, you can ensure that you have enough storage space on your PS5 for all your favorite games.
