(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well I updated to 3.56 the day it came out and forgot to delete my backed up games. I just recently received that 'email' everyone's been getting, and I removed all my homebrew. (Multiman, File Manager, etc.) The problem is, my backups are still in my HDD. Will I get banned?

the way people are talking sony can see if your running cfw which you are to run backups
if you want psn with no worrys i would reformat my hard drive you will lose all save game files ect tho
if you think its just a bunch of bs keep them
if your sceptical diable internet connection to your ps3 and see where it goes

But I'm not running back ups.
It's just on my HDD sitting there.
I deleted Multiman & all other homebrew,
& I am not going to use the backups at all because I can't.

So, is it still the same as using them?

well i made a uhoh but anyways sony supposedly can see everything dealing with your ps3 and it could be bannable so if you cant use them any ways i would reformat just to be safe look into how to save your saved game data on games you care about onto a usb drive or something i mean u cant use them anyways it can only help

Hm.
The reason I don't want to reformat is because I'll lose everything.
& If I back it up onto my usb, the backed up games will get backed up too (?), so I'm pretty stuck.

i think theres a way to put your individual game saves on your usb and reenable them when your done not positive tho
and dlc you can go to the ps store click view downloads and then redownload all dlc

i would look up the gave saves tho to make sure

Just delete the backups by formatting the PS3.

What he is trying to say is why do you insist on keeping ur backup if they aren't playable anymore. You might as well just reformat your hard drive.

EVERYONE GOT THAT EMAIL! My brother who never hacked his ps3 what so ever got the email.

You guys aren't getting it. I know they aren't playable anymore, that's why I want to get rid of them, but if I format my PS3, I'll lose my data and stuff (which I don't want) :/ If I back them up on a usb, it'll copy the back up games too! Which is why I'm wondering if I'll get banned if the back ups are on my HDD and I don't use them. (If I don't reformat)
UNLESS theres a way to copy my save data, themes, etc. to a USB WITHOUT copying the back up games.
