How to Fix Corrupted Data Error on PS4

Well, you might as well think that the corrupted data error is a very big issue to handle and this might actually be scaring you, but you don’t need to worry as this is one of the simplest issues that can be encountered on your PlayStation. In recent times we have noticed that the issue usually occurs as a result of some game data and not even the system data. If you have noticed, you will see an error code like this CE-34875-7 or NP-32062-3. This occurs when trying to install a game and when this happens you will be left alone, and you won’t be able to play your games.

The fastest way to fix this issue is by deleting the game data file. In other to perform this action, you’ll need to go to the Notifications on the PlayStation 4 home screen, then click on OPTIONS and then choose Downloads. From here mark the corrupted data, then click on OPTIONS again and then delete the data entirely. Make use of microfiber cloth to clear the game disk then install it again. Just in case you are trying to install a downloaded game, you will need first to delete the downloaded file then try to download and install the file again.

If the problem still occurs then move on by going to rebuild the game’s database.

  • Switch off the PS4 totally
  • When the device is switched off, click and hold the power key. Leave it after you’ve heard two sounds- one when you first press it, and another about seven seconds later.
  • The PlayStation 4 will now load into “Safe Mode“.
  • Now, you need to connect a DualShock 4 controller making use of your USB cable and click the PlayStation key on the controller. If the PlayStation 4 isn’t seeing the controller, you may have chosen a ‘power only’ USB cable – So you will need to make use of the one that came with the controller.
  • Choose the option “Rebuild Database”.
  • Now hold on for the process to be done then reboot the PlayStation 4 again.

This should solve the problem perfectly.
