PS5 owners are just realizing little-known hacks let you instantly clear storage for more games with hidden menu tricks
YOUR PlayStation storage can run out pretty quickly if you're not careful.
But there are three hacks to save storage that all gamers should know about.
Trophy trick
It feels great when you earn a Trophy in a PS5 game.
But there's a dark side to these accolades that you may not have noticed.
Every time you earn a trophy, your PlayStation automatically captures and saves a 15-second long video and a screenshot.
They're even captured in storage-gobbling 4K quality.
Even casual gamers might end up handing over a hefty chunk of storage to clips you might never watch.
To turn it off, just go to Settings > Captures and Broadcasts > Auto-Captures > Trophies.
Then simply uncheck Save Trophy Videos.
Customize!
These days, games often come in separate chunks.

When you're playing, it might not seem like that.
But big parts of a game might be split off and can be removed separately.
Sony explains: "Your PS5 console monitors how much storage space is used by your games, media content, and saved data.
"When a game has Customize next to its title, you can select and manage portions of the game data.
"For example, if there are add-ons you don't use or parts of a game that you've already finished, you can delete the data and still play the rest of the game."
Astro's Playroom
Astro's Playroom is a fantastic game that is installed on every PS5 by default.
The Sony title is designed to show off all the bells and whistles of its latest DualSense controller.
You should definitely play it through once, but consider deleting it after that.
After all, it's needlessly taking up 10.98GB of storage on your PS5.

You could ditch it and install another small video game, some DLC or make enough space to squeeze in a blockbuster title.
The game is free and can be redownloaded at any time, so you can always get it back if you change your mind.
