For those of u that are wondering if this will affect ur console, don’t worry it won’t. My ps5 took forever trying to load onto games then I cleared the cache and it was up and running again like brand new. Highly recommend this video if anyone’s ps5 is laggy. 😃
@@hawksthechickennuggetI did this because my fortnite is on a loading screen for eternity, I reinstalled the game and cleared cache but nothing. Any ideas or tips?
So I THINK this worked for me…?… so I follow the steps but when I let go after the second beep I am not showing anything on my screen. Like my tv is just its regular before-ps5-is-on screen. So I clicked down 5 times and then x and then right once and x like I was doing it “blind” and it did in fact restart…
Nice video, thanks, btw, if I wanna do both clear cache and rebuild database. Which one should I go first in order to get the full deep data cleaning of the console?
Thank you so much on this upload 👍 im a 60 year old female gamer and having problems with being invisible in D2 including all players being invisible also and iv been told to try clear my cache to sort the issue so praying it does 🙏
Question, I’m trying this method, but when I get to the “Safe Mode” screen and the system asks to connect controller to USB, my controller won’t turn on and bring me to the next steps. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
I’m trying to do this but for some reason when it homes to using the usb to turn on the controller it’s not working the controller is working fine the charging cables are working but the controller isn’t turning on what do I do?
My PS5 starts overheating after playing for an hour. Will this help me fix that issue or there is another solution to my problem. All help is appreciated
When you have completely shut down your PS5 (wait until its light is off), _PRESS_AND_HOLD_ the power button at the PS5's front panel until you hear a second beep. Then it should boot into safe mode, where you are asked to connect a controller with USB cable, press the Playstation button on the controller, and then you'll get into the menu, where you can select option 5, and then first the clear cache and after another reboot the rebuild database option. Hope this helps.
I’m old 54. Why would I go through all of that instead of just unplugging it 🤦🏾♂️Also if you have a solution on how to fix my grandson skins resort back to default every time he chooses one please please let me know
It doesn't work for me. I turn it off, wait until the light goes out. Press the power button until the second beep...and when it comes back on the light goes from blue to white and just stays there
Also there is another simple way: completely turn off your PS5 or PS4 than unplug the power cord for at least a minute that should clear the cache of the consoles
@@ghulammustafa4569 I always clear cache before every gaming session. If not the console behaves as if it's running on 1gb ram. I never experience this when playing my ps4 games on my 2tb 860 evo ssd extended storage with 2gb dram cache. Sony is truly very stupid for not having dram cache on their so called ultrafast ssd.
Had to look this up after I had to clear my Xbox’s series s cache (I still haven’t), I hate how simple this is and how my garbage Xbox you can’t even do anything about it unless you completely reboot and have to log back in every account
Mine does the exact same thing but i found out why. Its because your console is getting too hot. Mine was doing it when i had it behind my tv so it got very hot but as soon as i moved it it dosnt happen anymore. Also make sure to clean out all the dust that helps to avoid it turning off too
Fun fact: I made my PS5 run so fast by doing this that it has gone through the space-time continuum to the future and now I have to wait to get my PS5 back in the future when the chip shortage is under control and I can actually find a damn PS5 to buy! It’s already been 9 months since release and you still can’t buy one🤦🏻😭
I dont have a usb for the controller tho im just gonna switch to xbox one because playstation always wants to be complicated, this is why xbox is better, i pay for playstation plus and it glitches and tells me that i still have to buy it, games dont even work right, always a issue going on. im on my way to burn my ps5 right now.
You will not and I repeat, you will not lose any progress or data on games. This just clears up some junk files on your ps5 that's not needed
Thank you I was very worried
Bro you don’t understand how long I’ve been looking for this I was so scared
Are you 100% sure
You sure?
@@yuvallugasi9186 i can tell you personally after trying it you won't lose anything
Mar 15 2024. Do this day it still works but they added an extra option the clear cache is number 6 now instead of 5

Really? My fifa 22 sometimes lagging, should i try it?
Entirely up to u man but I recommend it
So your saved game data is SAFE and will NOT be deleted?
@@cunningsmile4166yes the data is safe. It gets rid of temporary files that aren’t necessary and they can get old and take up space.

I always go for rebuild database first, because that's what ps5 is doing on its own from time to time. It's automatic.

Thanks man this helped me and solved my network issues
My PS5 network issues made me crash from a 3 hours long BO4 zombie game.
Thanks for the help but an important part you left out do I need to rebuild the data base or not
How about clearing just one game my I need to clear cache on my MW3 app coz it keeps me lagging through the game
I’m convinced u were put on this earth to give the greatest tech tutorials of all time
My ps definitely works much smoother after clearing cache. Thanks!
Thank you for explaining calmly
Are my games going to be deleted from my ps5, and so redowloading is the way to go?
no
does it help with wifi connection to the ps5?
Thanks for the clear instructions.
Question, I’m trying this method, but when I get to the “Safe Mode” screen and the system asks to connect controller to USB, my controller won’t turn on and bring me to the next steps.
Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Could be the usb port on your console,, try the smaller one next to it ,, worked for me
also make sure ur using the one that came with the console
Rite on bro, appreciate the video!
Will I loose progress on games
@@ggreen5001 no
My matches in Tekken crash periodically since the latest patch. Will clear cache fix that?
Just a stupid question so this doesnt delete any of your games??

@@iyelxeck4647u must put the USB cable in ur ps5

What about if you have screenshots of games? Do you lose them if you do this?

Ty soooo much!
My PS5 starts overheating after playing for an hour. Will this help me fix that issue or there is another solution to my problem. All help is appreciated
I can’t find the menu to clear cache. It just comes back on like normal. I never see the options to scroll down to #5. I have my controller plugged in

This works great don't be scared thank you Tony
Thanks buddy.
My controller just keeps flickering
Does rebuild the data works on the external as well?
Is this gonna reset my dualsense edge settings??
Thank you for this video

Thank you!!! :)
What if you are downloading something does it clear that??
Does doing this regularly have any long time negative effect on ps5 ssd? Thanks
Nope
@@wcrdz lyou o
No but I you go by 1 - 2 years of heavy gaming without clearing the cache you might see some noticable lag

@@lordspalse0062 never cleared cache my console still runs like it day 1. Something messed up with your to require it every time you game
Helpful
For me it doesn’t show the safe mode option once I turn it off why does this happen?
Hold down until you hear 2 beeps
thanks bro. good video
I hope this fixes the texture poping in rdr2
Your a legend jim many thanks
Mine doesn’t go to the menu?
Had to look this up after I had to clear my Xbox’s series s cache (I still haven’t), I hate how simple this is and how my garbage Xbox you can’t even do anything about it unless you completely reboot and have to log back in every account
Btw which is better Clear Cache or Rebuild Database?
My fornite turn off my system off after 5 minutes of playing, it's only fornite, my other games work fine. I need help!
So what if your controller won’t turn on???
Did u ever find this out bc mine won’t either
When i let go on second beep the system keeps showing white and nothings on screen
Thanks 😊
What does rebuild database do ?
Thank you much
You the man
my controller doesn’t turn on when i have to plug it in to the console
will this help stop my playstation from being bricked
This is what I’m trying to find out ????
Wtf are you doing with your console to even get it bricked?
@@Sweaty-Pancakes it was a common thing for the ps5 to just brick randomly but most of it is fixed now
I got an error that ps5 was shut down improperly, and that's all happend
literally only have to do this for nba 2k… NO OTHER GAME causes me to ever need to do this
Thanks Mate!
what happens if I do this bus my controllers won{t connect to the PS5 i need help
Did u ever figure that out mine won’t either😂
Thank you
Thanks so much 🙏
Trying to play battlefield V and this still isn't working. Wtf is happening honestly
What's the other option for?
When I try it it doesn’t work my controller just blinks please help
When this happened to me, it was the usb cable at fault. I was using a cheap Chinese charge cable.
Goat
Thank you helped me a lot
I watched it 2× times so it's faster😎
Thanks
can anyone help me like my ps5 randomly turns off in rest mode , idk why any help?
Probably your power saving settings
Mine does the exact same thing but i found out why. Its because your console is getting too hot. Mine was doing it when i had it behind my tv so it got very hot but as soon as i moved it it dosnt happen anymore. Also make sure to clean out all the dust that helps to avoid it turning off too
i got over 550 mbps and im always gettin pack burst
Does clearing the cache remove save data from your games?
Yeah it does. I did it and I lost all data. I was honestly devasted because I was so far into my games
No it does not. It ONLY gets rid of junk files that pile up over time and slows down your PS5.
@@CrackerWhacker1 u did something wrong u troll
Your so amazing and you enspierd me to make a channel you are amazing! 😀😀😀
My ps5 was cutting off mid game I tried this method and it worked thanks man !!!
Mine too. I was afraid that something is wrong with my ps5. This gentleman saved my heart from exploding 😄
Will you lose any data ?????????????
No
Does this delete your games
No
why do you take 5 hours just to get started

I’ve been having crashing issues with Spider Man remastered, hopefully this helps

THIS WILL NOT DELETE DATA FROM YOUR PLAYSTATION
This didn’t reset my settings in gta 5
Doesn't your ps5 become corrupted over time if you do this?
This isn’t working
Hopefully 2k23 finna work now
Did it work champ
