I started out with 74gb free space... I know I went to HOME, dwlnd the aprtment, plaza, bowling alley, theatre, mall(upanddown stairs), and two or thre other locations on the world map. I havent played any games yet to save, and I only dwnld'd an extra living space at HOME(the log cabin).

Now my memory is showing 59 GB free space...How did all of these things I saved/opened usd up 15 gb of space on HDD?

How can I go into HOME and delete world map locatins that I dont want to drain my memory?

All the stuff that gets installed on Home takes up lots of memory. The only way to get it back is to delete it. So you got to choose what you want more.

There's no way that HOME took up 15 GB of HDD space.

At max it'll consume about 5-6 GB.

The rest of the space is probably game installs and videos you might have on your PS3.

I would suggest getting a bigger HDD for your PS3. Once you start buying stuff off of PSN and play more games that require 4-6 GB of space for installs, you will find your HDD space dwindle quickly.

For $100, I just upgraded to 500 GB , 465 to be exact after format. I suggest you do the same.
