- Choose the version of GTA V you are playing; in this case, it is the PS5 version
- Select Console Storage and then Upload or Delete from Console Storage.
- Before deleting any saved data, consider uploading your campaign saved data to the Cloud Storage (if you have PlayStation Plus) or copying it to a USB drive. This way, you won’t lose your progress if you want to continue the single-player campaign later.

- Also, Re-download Campaign Data (if needed) To do this, return to the Save Data and Game/App Settings menu. Select Download from Cloud Storage or transfer the campaign save data back from your USB drive.
- Log into GTA Online and the game should now correctly fetch the latest version of your online profile from the Rockstar servers.
