Plug your controller into Slot 1/A, and ensure the memory card is properly inserted into the console. The port is located on the left side of the console, just on top of the controller port.
Using a button labeled “Source” or “Input” on your TV remote, go through the inputs until you find one where you can see your PS2’s visual. If there is a game in your PS2, the start menu for that game will appear.
The contents of the memory card will appear once it is selected. It may take a few seconds depending on how full it is. All the data on that PS2 memory card will pop up in rows. Skip this step if the console recognized the card.
Each piece of data is a picture that corresponds with the said game, or configuration data. (For Example, Final Fantasy would have a Chocobo, or Soul Calibur would have the logo and so on). You will slowly see 3D renderings of games that have saved data on the memory card. When there is a white light on a rendering, it means it is selected. Note that if you see the name of the game but the data icon is a blue cube, then the data is corrupted and therefore cannot be deleted or removed.
Press “X” and the data will be deleted. If you don’t want to delete the data press the circle.
Ask yourself if repairs are worth the cost relative to buying another PS2 or upgrading.
