I thought "rebuild database" was a part of the same clearing cache process? Why are they separate? Would we lose any saved data or media? Perhaps they were the same process on the Ps4 and earlier gens. 🤷

Is "rebuild database" recommended afterwards or just a separate feature?

If I clear it out, will it still save my game progress?

I have my controller connected to the USB, but whenever I press the PS button it won’t work or change. Do I just let it charge?

Out of nowhere my ps5 started having this issue where I can’t invite ppl or accept. Can’t even look at my friends list. I tried changing the dns, forget wifi, everything. Fuck PlayStation Fr! They don’t give a single fuk
