Delete or move save data to the Cloud
As long as you have PlayStation Plus
No one thinks about old save data sticking around even after you’ve finished and deleted a game, but they do. In fact, most games save multiple files and can start to take up multiple gigs, and the more games you play, the more of these old saves you have taking up space.
