Far Cry 4 on PS3 fix: Delete everything

4.7
Ubisoft has a fix for problems with downloaded versions of Far Cry 4 on PS3, but it isn't pretty. To fix the "delete FC3 game data" issue, players have to delete the entire game, including save files, and re-download the "correct version" from the PlayStation Store, this one with a download size of 9.4GB.

Below, see Ubisoft's full instructions on how to delete Far Cry 4 and its save files on PS3.

Ubisoft has a cleaner fix for the PC version of Far Cry 4, which has an issue that sends the game to a black screen when it detects external USB devices. Patch 1.4.0 will launch on Friday, and Ubisoft says it should fix this issue. "Some have been able to temporarily fix this problem by disabling USB devices and certain drivers, but we realize this is in no way ideal," Ubisoft writes.

All of this info comes courtesy of Ubisoft's new blogs featuring Live Updates and patch information for Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed: Unity.

To remove the existing version:
Navigate to the 'Game' option from the XMB
Highlight the installed version of the game and press the triangle button
Select 'Delete' and confirm the prompt
While still in the 'Game' option, select 'Saved Data Utility (PS3)'
If a Far Cry 4 save file exists, highlight it and press the triangle button
Select 'Delete' and confirm the prompt to remove the save file
Repeat this step for all Far Cry 4 save files in the folder
While still in the 'Game' option, select 'Game Data Utility'
Highlight the Far Cry 4 game data and press the triangle button
Select 'Delete' and confirm the prompt to remove the game data

I feel sorry for the people who played it on PS3, It would be so annoying if you had to delete it.

This must have been very irritating to deal with, I had something similar happen to me with GTA V on the 360 where I lost all my progress.
