How to Remotely Delete PSN ID from Inaccessible PS4?


Kid Ryan

Recommended Posts

Here's my situation. My work recently added a PS4 and TV for it to our break room. I signed in with my PSN ID, but forgot to delete my account before leaving work yesterday, and I'm not scheduled to work again until Wednesday.

 

People at work have been accessing my account, causing me to be kicked out on my end at home. How can I delete my PSN account from the work PS4 without being there in person?

 

Please don't suggest that I should just go down there and remove the account myself, it's not an option due to transportation issues and distance. Commute would be 30 minutes to work and another 30 back home, if I could even find a way to get there.

I don't think you can delete a account remotely. However, you can deactivate your account remotely.

Follow that, except ignore Step 3-5. From there, instead of 'Media and Devices', goto 'Devices' in the nav bar then PlayStation Systems.

You'll have to figure out which is which. (There not named by default. You can name here though for ease later. I think there ordered by addition though. I had something like "PlayStation 3 System" on the end and I realized it was my 60gb ps3 I got a month ago.)

 

Then just click the respective system and deactivate it.

The article mentions that they limit you on doing this to like once per six months, not sure if that applies to single device activation as well, but just to be safe try to remember to sign out/delete your account in the future.
