A Corrupt PS2 File Won't Delete

PlayStation 2 memory cards, like a computer's hard disk drive, can become corrupt and malfunction, causing you to lose your data. Unfortunately, these corrupt files will remain on your memory card and cannot be deleted using the in-game memory card browser. Another way to remove data from your PS2 memory card acts as a sort of manual override; by using this alternative to data deletion, you can free up space on your memory card for other game saves.

- 4
  Highlight "Delete" in the list of options and press "X" to remove the file. Exit the browser and reboot your PS2. Return to the browser and confirm that the file has been deleted.
