Many people don’t know that you can delete games from your PlayStation 4. This is useful if you want to free up some space to play other games, or if your game has been locked because of a security update. If you’ve already deleted the game from your console and have downloaded it again from PlayStation Store, follow these steps to delete the game once and for all.
Why do you need to delete games?
One of the reasons you need to delete games is that your PlayStation 4 might be running out of storage space. When a game is deleted, it isn’t just deleted from your console. It’s also removed permanently from the PlayStation Store and its associated cloud data, so if you ever want to reinstall it, you’ll have to pay for it again.
Another reason is if you no longer want to play a game because it has been locked as a result of a PS4 security update.

Now that you’re logged in as the system administrator, follow these instructions:

2) Find the game you want to delete and click on it.

What to do when a game doesn’t show up
If your game isn’t showing up in your games list, it might be because you’re using a PlayStation 4 on a console that doesn’t have access to the game. In this case, you’ll need to contact Sony and ask for a refund.
If your game is showing up but it’s locked, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to PlayStation Store on your console
2. Select PlayStation Store from the main menu
3. Select the “Games” tab in the upper-left corner of the screen
4. Select “PlayStation Plus” from the submenu under “Entertainment”
5. Click on “Account Management” from the left-hand column of options on this screen
6. Verify that “PlayStation Plus Subscription Status: LOCKED” is displayed at the top of this page and click on “Edit Subscription Settings”
7. Confirm that you want to delete all games by clicking on “Delete All Games” (or press X)
