how to delete applications on ps4

Games are more exciting to play when you have a piece of power-packed equipment such as the Sony PlayStation 4 console. It enhances the thrill of the gameplay, elevates graphics, and gives you better control. You can download, install, and save multiple digital games on your PS4 for easy access at any time.

But, PS4 only comes with a 500GB storage space to store or save your digital PS4 games. It may be enough for a lot of users. However, when you want to play games with a huge file size, such storage is never sufficient to store everything. For instance, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has a file size of 85GB, while Gran Turismo: Sport comes with a 100GB size.

If expanding your PS4 drive is not an option, all you have to do is fully delete or uninstall these digital games you purchased from your PS4 console to free up some precious storage space. Please note that you cannot permanently delete purchased digital games on PS4.
