how to delete games on external hd filled with app2usb

[panterazul]

Somebody please show me the proper way to delete games after I already used app2usb to put it on my external hard drive. Not sure if it matters but I'm on 6.72. So far I'm thinking you have to connect the external hd to the pc and delete the cusa folder of the game. I seen another person posting about how this causes problems if you have to rebuild the database? Just want to make sure because my 8tb is just about completely full so I need to make space for better games.

otherwise maybe is there a way to convert my app2usb drive into being an extended storage drive so I dont have to deal wtih that anymore?

while hdd is connected to ps4. just delete the game in the ps4. in main menu, or in system storage settings

really? That doesn't only delete the symlink? If its that way that is defenitely better. Does that also delete updates and dlcs for that game? Thanks

i feel that it would delete updates and dlcs.

im not completely sure though. maybe test with one game that you know the cusa of .
delete with ps4 delete option and then connect hdd to pc to see if its still there or not.
