Hard Drive Space Weirdness
I've been trying to free up space on my hard drive for a large game. I went through and cleaned out at least 15-20GB (probably even more) of data between downloaded games, their saves, and the game data itself. But for some reason, the PS3 reports that I've only opened up a Gigabyte of space.
I tried restarting, but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if it's just a small system glitch or what, but I do know that I deleted well more than 10 Gigabytes of data. Two of the games were just over 6000 Megabytes, as well as one that was 11 Gigabytes.
Any thoughts?
Best Answer
Go into Recovery Menu and choose Restore File System and Rebuild Database. It might just be a small glitch that still recognizes the space of the games even though they were already deleted.
