How to Delete DLC on PS4 | Easiest Steps

Once a DLC (Downloadable Content) has been installed on the PS4, it is not feasible to uninstall it individually. To uninstall a DLC, first, uninstall the entire game and then reinstall it without the DLC.

How to Delete DLC on PS4

We need to first understand how DLCs work & navigate through the options on how to delete DLCs. Let’s start!

What is DLC?

Before going further into how to uninstall DLC on the PS$, let’s see what DLC is. DLC stands for “Downloadable Content.” It is digital content a player can install on top of a video game that can give additional gameplay or sidequests to a game. 

It is usually distributed online via the PlayStation Store for PS4. They add additional content to the main video game without creating an entirely new game. It is very popular among video game developers as DLC is usually monetized for another source of income for the developer. 

How to Delete DLC on PS4

We have already discussed that you can’t delete specific DLC separately. You have to delete the entire game & redownload the entire game without DLC. 

Step 1: Delete the Game

At first hover over the game that you want to delete the DLC. Then you press options on it & delete the entire game. Now this game will be deleted from your PlayStation 4 for now. 

Step 2: Reinstall the Game

Now you need to go over to the Library option. Then go down to the Purchased option where it will shoe every game that you have purchased. You will find the game that you have just deleted. 

Now you need to download the game to install it on your PD4. It will ask for the DLCs you would like to download. You can skip the DLCs that you wanted to delete in the first place & move on to download the rest. 

Now you have gotten rid of specific DLCs & installed the game on your PS4. We have gotten our end result to delete DLCs. 

Conclusion

Sometimes you do need to delete DLCs to make space for other games. But As PS4 doesn’t allow this option, you need to take the linger route here. But it’s not that hard, it just takes up a lot of your time. That’s all.
