So, if you are still experiencing the PS4 CE-34627-2 error, freeing up more space on your PS4’s hard drive by deleting unnecessary files or games may also resolve this error for you. There are several ways to free up space on your PS4’s hard drive. Here are a few ways to do it:

2. When you attach a compatible external hard drive, the PS4 will prompt you to format it.
3. Open the Device menu >  USB Storage Devices.

   

4. If there are no critical files on it, select Format as Extended Storage.

   

5. Now, navigate to your Settings> Storage> System Storage.

7. Transferring will take some time, depending on the size of your entire game.

Delete Game Saves And Screenshots

You can delete the game saves and screenshots from PS4 by following this method:

1. Navigate to Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage.

Delete Unnecessary Messages And Party Chats

Deleting unwanted messages and party chats makes up a lot of space on your PS4 hard drive. You can do it by following these steps:

1. Go to Settings> Account Management> Privacy. From here, you can delete any unnecessary messages or party chats.

Rebuild The Database

Try to Rebuild the PS4 database, as it was recommended to fix the CE-34627-2 error by my team members and also in a Reddit thread. But please remember that rebuilding the database will erase all data on the system. So, it is essential to back up any critical data before proceeding.

Furthermore, if you want to switch to the original HDD (Hard Disk Drive) on your PS4, I recommend you replace the current HDD with the original one. Here are the steps to replace the HDD on your PS4:

1. Power off your PS4 and unplug all cables.
2. Find the HDD cover on the back of your PS4.
3. Remove it by unscrewing the screw that holds it in place.
4. Carefully remove the original HDD from the PS4 by pulling it out of the connector.
5. Insert the new HDD into the connector and secure it in position.
6. Replace the HDD cover and screw it back into place.
7. Reconnect all cables and power on your PS4.
8. Once you have replaced the HDD, reinstall the system software and restore any backed-up data.

Note: Replacing the HDD will erase all data on the PS4, so it’s essential to back up any critical data. If you are unfamiliar with hardware procedures or have any doubts, it’s recommended to have it done by a professional.

My Thoughts

I found the main cause of this error is the system software faults, which are typically not location-specific.
