To get rid of corrupted data on your PlayStation, navigate to 'Settings' > 'Storage' > 'System Storage' > 'Saved Data'. Find any files marked as corrupted, select them, and press 'Delete'. Restart your console afterward. If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the database: reboot your PS5 in 'Safe Mode' by holding the power button until you hear two beeps, then select 'Rebuild Database'. This helps to organize your data and remove any lingering corrupt files.
