How do i delete Home?

[Captain_Caveman]

So I DLed Home when they had that "free apartment" thing. just to at least give it a try. And i hated it. I figured since i could always just delete it i'd wait a little while and delete it when i need room, in case i wanted to try it again later. Well i've decided that i'll never like it. But now (since firmware 3 came out) i cant figure out how to delete it. You used to be able to hit triangle & get a menu you could choose to delete it from. Now when i hit triange though nothing happens. How do i delete Home?

Anybody? Really?

I think its something to do with accepting when you began Home that it would steal your HDD space.

Try deleting the Game Data first as this should delete the update (methinks)

not sure i understand what you mean. what game data? & how?

I think home is a part of the firmware now

i doubt that. you had to DL it before and it was like 4GB. if some1 logged on to get their firmware update (say so they could play the newest BD movies or do anything online) and ended up having to DL 4GB instead of 10MB there woulda been a big uproar about it.

You hire a demolition crew and set them up with a crane, and enjoy.

Joke =P

Try going into the game data bit or something, i dunno.

EDIT: Wait come to think of it what the hell do you have on that hard drive if you've run out of space? Anything media related goes to my laptop not my gaming machine. No matter how hard they try the reason I buy a console is to play games not faf around with the internet watching videos. /rant

My 160gb upgraded HDD has only 30gb left on it and thats with only about 10 songs and a few pics on it, everything else is games and updates

Well in game data & save data it says only 16kb and 60kb. but i know it's on there.
I count all the games from 'information' in game data and it only adds up to like 19-20GB. and it says out of 37GB (its a 40GB PS3) i have 7GB free. so wtf? where'd that extra 10-11GB go? and why isn't it listing home as more than KB? i know i had it on there before the update to firmware 3. The OS cant possibly take up that much room.

 

[Captain_Caveman]

maybe it's just a bug w/ having it before firmware 3.

can somebody else who had/has home installed go to game data and see how much space it's listed as in "information" (after you hit triangle)?

You can uninstall it, I think by pressing triangle while it's highlighted. You can't remove the icon from the XMB, though.

Sony really screwed up with the Playstation Store icon in the XMB. I loved it when you just had to go to it horizontally, and you were there. Then you had to press down from Home. Now you've got to press down twice from that "What's New" thing that I see absolutely no use for.

ditto. I hate firmware 3. there's that annoyance youre talking about plus theres an annoying news ticker (really just advertising) in the upper-right, right next to the clock and friends icons (so you have to see it every time you look there).

They're slowing filling it w/ ugly clutter & ads. It will only be a matter of time before it goes form the most elegant & simple/clean interface to the equiv of a 2007 myspace page.

My point stands. How the hell did you fill up all that with just games?

I dont know :S Im off to check now

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

look for it in game data utilitly, and in saves, if its not there, you're boned

i deleted that crap ages ago with the triangle to go into options so dont know really what to say. you could delete its game data and possibly the other data (the 2 folders above the game disc (not the middle one which is ps2 saved data may only be for 60gb) nd if you dont know about those 2 folders go into them, the top 1 is the games install the bottom folder is the games saved data.
