(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have a few pirated games on my PS3 hard drive but no longer have custom firmware so these are of no use to me , then I received email from Sony telling me to remove them from my HDD or they will ban my console. How will I delete these ? Will going into recovery mode and restoring work , or am I better to remove the hard drive and and delete the contents on with my pc and then reinstall the ps3 firmware ?

Thanks in advance

Just format the drive in the PS3 and you will be fine but back up you saves.

Been looking into it I think I am gonna put my hdd in an enclosure and delete them with ma pc just to be on the safe , dont need to back up saves and download dlc again this way

True. Was not sure if you had an enclosure handy. Hope it all works out for you.
