How to Make PlayStation 3 Games Smaller by Removing Languages

You can initially upload your disc-based games onto your PlayStation 3's hard drive. Whenever you play the game again, you can play the game from your hard drive without needing the disc. However, each file takes up space on your hard drive. To make game files smaller, you can remove unnecessary parts of the file, such as multiple language options, if you do not intend to use more than one language to play the game.

Download the PlayStation 3 file manager installation file of your choice with your PlayStation 3 browser. You can also download the file with your computer and transfer the .exe file to your PlayStation 3 with a flash drive.
