2. Now, find the capture gallery in there.
3. Click on the library and select “Applications.”

   

4. Click on the capture gallery and open it

6. At the bottom right, we can see the delete option. After selecting, press delete to clear all the unusable data.

4. Monitor PSN Status

Check the official PlayStation Network status page for ongoing server problems that might be causing the error. I have faced many errors that required nothing except knowledge of the servers and a patient mind, and this can be one such error.

5. Adjust Firewall Settings

Another problem that caused this error for me was the firewall settings. I fixed it by temporarily turning off some overly strict settings.

Here are the steps:

1. Find your PS4’s IP address.
2. On your PS4, go to “Settings”> “Network”> “View Connection Status.”

   
3. Note down the IP address.

   

4. Access your router settings.
5. Open a web browser and enter your router’s IP address into the address bar (usually something like 192.168.1.1).
6. Log in with your router’s username and password. Check your router’s manual for the default credentials if you haven’t changed these.

   

7. Look for a “Port Forwarding” or “Port Triggering” section in your router settings.

   

8. Add a new port forwarding rule for the PS4 with the following details:
   Service Name: PSN (or any name you prefer)
   Internal IP Address: Enter the PS4’s IP address you noted earlier.

   

   

9. Save the settings and restart your router if necessary.
10. On your PS4, go to “Settings”> “Network”> “Test Internet Connection” to check if the issue is resolved.

    

    

These steps should help you adjust your firewall settings to resolve the error on your PS4. Ensure to follow your router’s specific interface and terminology, as it may vary between router models.
