PlayStation 5(PlayStation 5)配备功能强大的固态硬盘,加载时间快如闪电,但它可以快速填满游戏、保存数据和媒体文件。幸运的是,您有很多方法可以释放空间并使内部存储井然有序。
本教程将教您如何管理PlayStation 5存储空间,以便您可以继续使用主机而不会出现空间不足的情况。

如何检查您的 PS5 存储空间
您的PS5配备了存储管理控制台,可让您密切关注内部SSD的剩余空间,包括按类型划分的已用空间明细。要实现它:
- 选择PS5 主屏幕(PS5 Home Screen)右上角的“设置” 。

- 向下滚动并在(Scroll)“设置”(Settings)菜单上选择“存储” 。

- 检查控制台(Console)存储指示器以查看磁盘大小和可用存储空间。虽然PS5拥有 825GB 驱动器,但考虑到系统软件后,仅提供 667.2GB 可用空间。

在其下方,您还应该看到游戏和应用程序、媒体库(由屏幕截图和视频剪辑组成)和保存文件占用的空间。第四类“其他”表示系统缓存,根据使用情况在 50GB 左右波动。
此外,您还可以查看在 PS5 上设置的扩展存储设备上的空间- 选择(PS5—select USB Extended)侧边栏上的 USB 扩展存储。
如何删除旧的 PS5 游戏(Delete Old PS5 Games)和应用程序(Apps)
如果您的PS5(PS5)存储空间不足,释放空间的最简单方法是删除不再玩或不需要的游戏和应用程序。就是这样:

或者,突出显示 PS5主屏幕(Home Screen)上的游戏或应用程序,按DualSense无线控制器上的“选项”(Options)按钮,然后选择“删除”(Delete)。
如何删除屏幕截图(Delete Screenshots)和视频剪辑(Video Clips)
在游戏过程中频繁截取屏幕截图和视频会很快耗尽PS5上的存储空间。更糟糕的是,控制台会自动捕获某些游戏时刻的屏幕截图和剪辑,例如当您获得奖杯或完成挑战时。随着时间的推移,这些文件可能会填满您的媒体库,并导致您的主机速度变慢或空间不足。
要删除不需要的屏幕截图和视频剪辑:
- 打开 PS5 的“设置”(Settings)菜单并选择“存储”。

- 选择媒体库。

- 激活屏幕左上角的
“选择多个”按钮。(Select Multiple)

注意:您只能将PS4游戏的保存数据复制到USB闪存驱动器。
- 选择“确定”进行确认。

- 等待(Wait)PS5删除所选文件
。(PS5)
如何清除 PS5 的缓存
如果您注意到 PS5 存储管理面板中“其他”旁边的磁盘使用率异常高(即超过 100GB),则可能是由于系统缓存膨胀所致。您可以在安全模式(Safe Mode)下清除它。就是这样:
- 关闭你的 PS5。
- 按住电源(Power)按钮,直到控制台发出两次蜂鸣声。
- 通过USB将(USB)DualSense无线控制器连接到PS5,然后按 PS 按钮。

然而,如果管理PS5存储感觉很麻烦,还有一个更方便的选择:投资M.2 NVMe SSD扩展卡。通过此次升级,您可以显着增加存储容量(最高可达 4GB,具体取决于您的预算),并享受与主机内部存储相当(甚至更快)的速度。查看索尼的 M.2 SSD 支持文章,(Sony’s M.2 SSD support article)了解具体说明和要求。
How to Manage Your Playstation 5 Storage Space
The PlayStation 5 comes with a powerful solid-state drive that delivers lightning-fast loading times, but it can quickly fill up with games, save data, and media files. Luckily, you’ve got loads of ways to free up space and bring order to the internal storage.
This tutorial will teach you how to manage your PlayStation 5 storage, so you can keep using your console without running out of room.

How to Check Your PS5 Storage
Your PS5 comes with a storage management console that lets you keep an eye out on the remaining space of the internal SSD, including a breakdown of used space by type. To get to it:
- Select Settings on the top right corner of the PS5 Home Screen.

- Scroll down and select Storage on the Settings menu.

- Check the Console storage indicator to view the disk size and free storage. Although the PS5 has an 825GB drive, it only makes 667.2GB available after accounting for the system software.

Below that, you should also see the space occupied by games and apps, the media gallery (which consists of screenshots and video clips), and save files. A fourth category—Other—denotes the system cache and fluctuates around 50GB depending on usage.
Additionally, you can view the space on extended storage devices you’ve set up on your PS5—select USB Extended Storage on the sidebar.
How to Delete Old PS5 Games and Apps
If you’re running out of storage on your PS5, the simplest way to free up space is to delete games and apps you no longer play or need. Here’s how:
- Open the PS5’s Settings menu and select Storage.

- Select Games and Apps.

- Check the boxes next to games and apps you want to uninstall and choose Delete.

Note: The Console storage indicator on the top right corner denotes the free space available if you delete the selected items.
- Select OK to go through with the uninstallation process.

- Wait until your PS5 deletes the selected games and apps.
Alternatively, highlight the game or app on your PS5’s Home Screen, press the Options button on your DualSense wireless controller, and choose Delete.
How to Delete Screenshots and Video Clips
Taking frequent screenshots and videos during gameplay sessions can quickly eat up storage space on your PS5. To make things worse, the console automatically captures screenshots and clips of certain gameplay moments, such as when you acquire trophies or complete challenges. Over time, these files can fill up your media gallery and cause your console to slow down or run out of space.
To delete unwanted screenshots and video clips:
- Open the PS5’s Settings menu and select Storage.

- Choose Media Gallery.

- Activate the Select Multiple button on the left corner of the screen.

- Select the screenshots and videos you want to remove and choose Delete.

- Select Delete to confirm.

You can also stop your PS5 from capturing automatic screenshots and video clips of moments when you obtain trophies and complete challenges. To do that:
- Select Captures and Broadcasts on the PS5 Settings menu.

- Select Trophies.

- Set Save Trophy Screenshots and Save Trophy Videos to None.

- Return to the previous screen, select Challenges, and disable the switch next to Auto-Capture Challenge Videos.

How to Back Up and Delete Old Saved Games
If you play many games on your PS5, save files can use a hefty chunk of storage. Check your saved data and delete files you don’t need. You can also copy them to a USB drive or upload them to Sony’s servers (if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus) before you delete them. Here’s how:
- Select Saved Data and Game/App Settings on the PS5 Settings menu.

- Go to Saved Data (PS5)/Saved Data (PS4) > Console Storage.

- Check the boxes next to the save games you want to remove and select Delete. Optionally, select the Upload to Cloud Storage or Upload to PS Plus options to back up your saved data to a USB drive or the cloud before you delete them.

Note: You can only copy save data for PS4 games to a USB flash drive.
- Select OK to confirm.

- Wait until your PS5 deletes the selected files.
How to Clear the PS5’s Cache
If you notice abnormally high disk usage next to Other within the PS5’s storage management panel (i.e., it exceeds 100GB), it could be due to a bloated system cache. You can clear it in Safe Mode. Here’s how:
- Turn off your PS5.
- Press and hold the Power button until the console beeps twice.
- Connect the DualSense wireless controller to your PS5 via USB and press the PS button.
- Select Clear Cache and Rebuild Database
- Choose the Clear System Software Cache sub-option to clear the console’s system cache.
Optionally, you can rebuild the PS5’s database to restructure the internal storage and remove redundant data—pick the Rebuild Database sub-option to do that. For more information, check our guide to entering and using Safe Mode on PS5.
How to Disable Automatic Game Updates
If you’re running low on storage space, you might want to disable automatic downloads for game updates and patches. To do that:
- Visit your PS5’s Settings screen and select Saved Data and Game/App Settings.

- Turn off the switch next to Auto-Download.

To manually install game updates, highlight the game within the Home Screen, press the Options button, and select Check for Update.
How to Set Up and Use an External Hard Drive
If you continue to run out of storage space on your PS5, it’s a good idea to set up and use an external hard drive or SSD. That allows you to move games out of the internal storage and copy them back when it’s time to play.
Warning: Back up any data on the external drive to a PC or Mac before you go ahead.
To set up a USB drive to work as an extended storage device for the PS5, connect it to the USB-C port on the front or a USB-A port on the rear of the console, and then:
- Open the PS5’s Settings menu and select Storage.

- Select USB Extended Storage > Format as USB Extended Storage.

- Select Yes.

The extended storage is ready for use. To move games to the USB drive:
- Highlight a game you want to move on the PS5’s Home screen, press the Options button, and select Move Games and Apps.

- Select Move.

- Select OK.

To play a transferred PS5 game, you must copy it back to the internal storage. To do that, highlight the game on the Home Screen and choose Copy.

You can play PS4 games directly from the extended storage. However, copying it to the internal storage can boost performance and loading speeds. To do that, highlight the game on the Home Screen, press Options, and choose Move Games and Apps > Move.
You can also set the default installation and download location for PS4 games to the external storage drive. To do that:
- Open the PS5’s Settings menu and select Storage.

- Select Installation Location and set PS4 Games and Apps to USB Extended Storage.

Note: You can’t download or install PS5 games directly to the external storage drive.
Optimize Your PS5 Storage
Managing the storage on your PlayStation 5 is crucial for a seamless gaming experience. To free up space, you can delete old games, apps, and unnecessary media files, clear the console cache, and disable automatic downloads. It’s also a good idea to regularly back up and delete saved game data to optimize available space. Consider setting up an external hard drive or SSD to gain additional capacity and manage multiple titles if you have an extensive game collection.
However, if managing your PS5 storage feels like a hassle, there’s a more convenient option: investing in an M.2 NVMe SSD expansion card. With this upgrade, you can significantly increase your storage capacity (up to 4GB, depending on your budget) and enjoy comparable, if not faster, speeds than the console’s internal storage.
