Hacking Clarification needed for install locations

[viper3344]

Hey all! So I was browsing the internal ps4 HDD in hopes that maybe I can reduce some game sizes by removing unwanted languages and the like (like we used to do on ps3) but started getting really confused.

I managed to locate what seems to be the install location (user/app) but they contain pkg files? Does the ps4 literally just read from the pkg files instead of writing them to folders like the ps3 did?

Also I found the user/download folder with a ton of stuff in it as well. Tons of download0.dat files. What’s up with that?

thanks for any info!

You have to repack the fpkg if you want to remove stuffs.

Havent found a decent tool that does that. Any recommendations or anything with a GUI?

Asks in the AIO Guide, @KiiWii might be able to help, I been out of the scene for a while, haven't touch my PS4 for a while, in general if you want to remove stuffs you need to understand the file structure. Easier solution just get a larger drive.

Yeah but sometimes its very obvious in the file structure. Especially if they store multiple languages.
