I’ve done this before but there is one major problem with this, it deletes updates for currently installed games and if you are like me and have the auto update feature turned on, then after you do this over time, your system will be bombarded with updates for various games you have installed
yip - that is what I said. some people have no impact while for others you have to re-download stuff. The good news is that when its done, your data will be nice a neat on your drive so you should feel the difference.
It takes literally a few minutes to remake those game folders. Depending on how many you have, I normally have them in two different folders (downloads and discs).

Saw your other video on this subject as well as others that suggested how to do the same thing. i have 4, PS4's. (grand kids). The thing was it worked, but took forever installing updates to a lot of the games.

Question. I have an ssd I got specifically for ps4 but have a lot of stuff in my capture gallery that I want to keep there on my current 2tb hdd. It's more than your average flash drive holds altho I'm trimming vids to cut them down to exact moments I want to keep without the extra crap I don't need (loading screens, scenes I don't want etc).

Any suggestions on how I can successfully do what I wanted without too many headaches or doing stuff wrong? I have over 250gb of stuff in my capture gallery.
B13Helghast no. That’s a myth. It’s actually the opposite. HDDs do that. SSDs don’t. SSD’s last probably 10 times longer than HDDs. Problem is price points. SSDs cost 10 times more than HDDs.
SSDs make a HUGE difference on PCs but I did not find them making a big difference on PS4..... wonder why that is.. Anyway for PS5 they're coming up with a new SSD anyway, so
Taha Iftekhar a machine is only as fast as it’s slowest part. Just because you add an SSD to a PS4 won’t automatically make it faster. Depends on how you are utilizing it and the capabilities of the PS4 to begin with. That’s what’s probably why you don’t notice a difference.
I love how the word HACK gets overused for EVERYTHING. Its also as bad as the word AWESOME. The definition of the word hack is: To gain unauthorized access to data in a system or computer. Which is not what you're doing. Otherwise you'd be voiding the warranty, which you are not. It should be called a TIP not a HACK.
Don't do this if you keep rebuilding the database when not necessary something is eventually gonna go wrong not to mention you could be waiting a very long time for this process to work if you want a PS4 to work better buy and ssd it's that simple once you've moved all your games to it your PlayStation has essentially nothing but the bare bones software and any media apps that you can't transfer but everything will run faster and smoother and it cuts load times in half.

Really? I did the same thing but I unplugged my external hard drive because you have to unplug it if you turn of your PS4. I think you might of left it plugged in..

It'll then tell you it's safe to unplug. But as long as you leave it plugged in, you can have your system on/off, rest mode.
Use the ps4 cord that came with your ps4 controller. I have a ps4 pro and had no issues rebuilding the data base. If you have a external drive make sure you disconnect it first. Go through settings and storeage options to do this.
You can also turn off the PS4 and just hold down the power button on the controller and It'll go straight to safe mode.... the only reason I know that because you know early Anthem you had to do that rebuild your database because it caused the system to be corrupted

you did not mention for how many beeps to hold the power button. rebuild database does not help for everything .did not work for me. also remember, die COD Servers, especially for warzone, etz, is very limi9ted and easilly gets saturated. also rebuild database does not help for packet loss, which also causes sluggishnes in online games, etc

if still useful, try reset your controller (hold a toothpick in the little hole at the rear for 5 seconds) then connect your controller to the ps4 before booting it
I'm not worried about hacks. I'm one those on the bridge of having to pay 65 bucks for a new ps4 controller. When I use it in games the camera spins without my help. I saw a long deconstructs video I have severe arthritis but enjoy rdr2. Is there a dummies method to fix the two direction sticks?
Unfortunately it's not the easiest thing to do you can try to replace them but honestly you're better off buying another controller with an extended warranty since Sonya controllers seem to be lacking in durability

I believe the dongle is not registering to the ps4 pro. No us 3.0 cables. I do have a psvr hooked up. Any suggestions.
hmmmm not sure I'm afraid...couple of options to try: 1. does it work with a 3.5mm cable? (just to test if the bluetooth) 2. Do you have another headset to try? (just to test if its a headset issue or a hardware issue on the PS4Pro)
Hook your headset to the usb with a cord and turn it on.then unplug it and your pro will recognize it then u can use it like you used to bro
@@Blakegriffith1990 nope tried that, no go
A question tho why did you disconnected the power cable?
U are funny guy at the end u made me laugh thanks for that at the end wash more videos u are asome
I tried it but then 5 mins later it crashed
Is there any effect if you have an external hard drive?
Does it matter if we have an external hard drive and if so what do we do with that?
How long did it take?
I get to safe mode and connect my ps4 remote and press the ps button the remote blinks once then turns back off and it does that over and over again plz help someone
if still useful, try reset your controller (hold a toothpick in the little hole at the rear for 5 seconds) then connect your controller to the ps4 before booting it
remember.. @ game launch... press square □ plus X still makes it HDR MODE.. note.. you may hear you fans kick in lol to prove it
Literally do this at least once every 1-3 months since launch how the hell do y'all not know about this.
Congrats. Remember there are people who are new to ps4
@@LironSegev yeah but this is common sense and it's not a "forgotten hack" lol
What's your address? I got a chocolate chip cookie with your name on it.
I just smiled when he said Lekker.Hahaha South africans foreverrr
Subbed bro
appreciate YOU!!
I have a question will it require for you to sign into your ps4?
More than likely yes.
@@Silver_n_Black514 no
Doesn’t matter, performance only last last for a few days
not really. Yes if you do loads of installs and uninstalls, but lasts months if you don't and just do the occasional updates or new installs.
Liron Segev got it, I’ll look into it
any idea if this would work if i am useing an external harddrive to store all my games?
Im a kid im so scared to do it
I'm not worried about hacks. I'm one those on the bridge of having to pay 65 bucks for a new ps4 controller. When I use it in games the camera spins without my help. I saw a long deconstructs video I have severe arthritis but enjoy rdr2. Is there a dummies method to fix the two direction sticks?
Unfortunately it's not the easiest thing to do you can try to replace them but honestly you're better off buying another controller with an extended warranty since Sonya controllers seem to be lacking in durability
What if you use an external hard drive
Then you never need to do this as there's no point to it at all and it's hard on your PS4
Well my ps4 is definitely not running at its best. It lags even when I'm not playing games just switching from one app to the other.
Are you from South Africa or US
both - from SA but live in the US
Will this increase the download speed?
no
Did he just say lekker? Lekker in dutch means tasty
Ps4 said I needed a new hard drive with the update 7. Whatever just hit okay even if you don't it'll reset and be perfectly fine
Thanks for the tip. I have a second hand ps4 and it's a bit laggy and kinda dusted up but I'll defrag + clean it and hope for the best
Results?
Yeah I got mine off of eBay after selling my Xbox one, amazing console and makes this console wayyyyy faster.
@@slim3710 lol I just saw reply here, yeah, not much of difference... but after I opened and cleaned it I got less noise ...
How to boost performance: get a pc
This is a nice tip for any device
Thank you so much!
