How to Delete DLC on PS5
Deleting downloaded content, such as DLC (Downloadable Content), on the PlayStation 5 can be a helpful way to free up storage space or remove content you no longer want. Whether you’re looking to remove a game’s expansion pack or a specific piece of additional content, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete DLC on your PS5.
1. Access the PlayStation Store
First, navigate to the PlayStation Store on your PS5 console. You can do this by selecting the “Store” option from the home screen.
2. Locate the DLC
Once in the PlayStation Store, use the search function or browse through the categories to find the DLC you want to delete. If the DLC is part of a game’s expansion, you may need to search for the game first and then look for the DLC within the game’s section.
3. Select the DLC
When you find the DLC, select it to view more details. You should see an option to manage the content, usually represented by a gear icon or a similar symbol.
4. Delete the DLC
Click on the manage option, and you will be presented with a few choices. Look for the “Delete” or “Uninstall” option and select it. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
5. Verify the DLC is deleted
After confirming the deletion, the DLC should be removed from your console. To ensure it’s gone, you can check the game’s library or the PlayStation Store to see if the DLC is no longer listed.
6. Delete the DLC from the Library
If the DLC still appears in your game’s library, you can delete it from there as well. Go to the “Library” section on your PS5 home screen, find the game with the DLC, and select it. Then, go to the game’s details page and find the option to delete the DLC.
7. Manually delete DLC using the PS5 Console Settings
If the above methods don’t work, you can try manually deleting the DLC by accessing the PS5 console settings. Go to “Settings” from the home screen, then select “Storage,” and finally, choose “Manage PS5.” From there, you can select the game or application with the DLC and delete it by selecting “Delete.”
Remember that deleting DLC is permanent, and you won’t be able to download it again without purchasing it once more. Make sure you have a backup of any important data or progress before proceeding with the deletion.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully delete DLC on your PS5 and manage your console’s storage space more efficiently.
