Rebuilding FPKG Database

When you rebuild the PS4 database you lose the home screen entries of homebrew apps and dumped games on internal and extended/external storage all of which are FPKG apps but they will still be taking up space because they are still there.

• Here are a few ways to recover them. Take note that sometimes the games may not show up on the home screen but become available in the Library app from there you can select them and they will start showing up again.
• Sometimes unplugging your extended/external storage can cause the games to be locked even when jailbroken. Allow it to repair itself then continue the guide to recover the games and apps
• Itemzflow and Apollo Save Tool have an option to also rebuild the DLC database but only Itemzflow has a dedicated option to Re-activate for extended storage.
  • See Itemzflow section for extended storage restore options. Take note Itemzflow cannot run from extended storage if you install it and it defaults to there move it to internal storage.

Using Apollo Save Tool
