Restore data from your memory card


Note: It is not possible to store save data on a microSD card.
In order to move software data to the system memory, you must first delete the data from the microSD card, then redownload the software to the system memory. Software data is automatically installed to a microSD card if one inserted into the console with sufficient space, so you'll need to remove the microSD card while downloading the software if you want to ensure it is saved to the system memory.
To copy saved screenshots and videos from a microSD card to the system memory, follow the below steps:

1.From the home screen tap System Settings.
2.Tap Data Management.
3.Tap Save Data/Screenshots and Videos.
4.Tap Manage Screenshots and Videos.
5.Tap microSD Card.
6.Tap Copy All Screenshots and Videos to System Memory.
7.Tap OK.
