How to Delete Saves on a PS1 Memory Card

The original PlayStation, also referred to as the PSOne or PS1, did not include internal memory or hard drive units found on more modern gaming consoles. Memory cards store game saves and other game related data. They varied in storage capacity, from one to eight megabytes, and could also be used to copy data from one card to another. You can delete saves on a PS1 memory card from the PS1 main menu.

Instructions

- 1
  Turn the PS1 off. Insert the Memory Card with the saves you want to delete into either of the Memory Card ports on the front of the PS1. Open the disc tray and remove any disc that is inside.

  Select "Memory Card" from the main menu. All of the files on the card will be displayed on screen. Use the directional pad on the PS1 controller to move to the save you want to delete. Highlight the save, press the "X" button and select "Delete" to delete the save. Repeat this process as necessary.
