For the PlayStation, the uninstallation process is the same whether you’re playing Genshin Impact on the PS4 or PS5. To uninstall Genshin Impact from your PlayStation console, follow these three steps:

However, if you want to delete your data, you must delete your account and then uninstall Genshin Impact.
