You can delete a game’s installed data from PS5 storage or hide it from your Game Library, but those actions do not permanently remove a digital purchase from your account. PlayStation’s support instructions explain how to delete and hide games; they do not document a self-service option for revoking an owned game entitlement.
What “delete” means on PS5
| Action | What changes | What happens to access |
|---|---|---|
| Delete from storage | Removes the installed game or app data from console storage. | Purchased games remain available to download again from your Game Library, according to PlayStation’s storage instructions. |
| Hide from the library | Removes the title from ordinary Game Library browsing. | You can reveal it using the Hidden Items filter. Hiding does not affect your profile, according to PlayStation’s library instructions. |
| Remove the purchase entitlement | Would change account ownership or access. | The official instructions cited here do not describe a supported self-service method for doing this. |
Delete a game’s installed data to free space
- On PS5, open Settings > Storage > Console Storage > Games and Apps.
- Select the installed game or data you want to remove.
- Choose Delete and confirm.
For some titles, Customize is available so you can remove selected portions, such as add-ons, while keeping the rest of the installation. Deleting local data does not remove re-download access to a purchase; PlayStation says deleted games and applications can be downloaded again from the Game Library.
Hide a game from your Game Library
- Open Game Library > Your Collection.
- Highlight the game and press the Options button.
- Choose Hide.
To show a hidden title while browsing, open Filter and Sort and enable Hidden Items. Hiding changes library visibility rather than ownership, and PlayStation says the setting applies across consoles without affecting your profile.
Use the PlayStation App for storage management
The PlayStation App can delete games from PS5 console storage and connected USB extended storage through Settings > PS5 Storage. You can also browse Game Library > Purchased to download a game. These app controls manage storage and downloads; they do not remove a purchase entitlement. See PlayStation App support for the documented features and PlayStation’s game-download instructions.

Can you permanently remove a digital game purchase?
PlayStation’s support pages reviewed for this guide document deleting an installation and hiding a library item, but they do not document a supported self-service way to permanently revoke an owned digital game entitlement. Do not treat deleting or hiding as an account-level removal: neither is described as changing ownership. If your goal is simply to stop seeing a title, use Hide; if your goal is to reclaim space, delete its installed data.
