Hey, I tried unplugging my ps5 from one TV and plugging it into another one. I had an extended storage drive that I did not unplug before hand and when I plugged the Ps5 into the tv downstairs it had to repair itself. The USB drive seemed to have cleared itself and I didn’t realize it, maybe cuz I tried to export it or something I’m not sure, I just clicked through to get out of that screen. Now when I try to open a ps4 game, it won’t let me and shows this message, along with the cleared extended drive. Is there any way to get all the games on that extended drive back? Please help I think I’m fucked.

You do know about the cloud?
You’ll have to redownload them if the drive is gone/cleared. First, focus on that game and press `Start -> Remove from Home`. After that, go to your library and redownload.
Do you live in a dumpster? What the fuck is that setup? Do some house cleaning for fuck’s sake!
You need to push a rescan
Turn console fully off, make sure the usb drive is connected properly, then hold power until the second beep
In safe mode, pick to clear cache and rebuild database, then leave it
When it comes back on, give it about 10-15 minutes whilst it scans and rebuild the database. If the games are found then they’ll work again, of not then it’ll allow you to redownload them
Delete the meta data for those games in the “console storage” section of your console.
-or-
Rebuild the database via Safe Mode.
