If you’re like most people, your PS4 hard drive is crammed with games, movies, and photos. But if your PS4 needs a new hard drive, you may be wondering how to format it. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Turn off your PS4 and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
  2. Open the front cover of your PS4 by pressing down on the center button and pulling it outward.
  3. Locate the hard drive inside the console and remove it by gently pulling on one end.
  4. Place the hard drive in a clean, dry location before formatting it using your computer’s operating system or a compatible formatting software program. ..
