Navigate to your System Settings. Press the home button, located on most PSPs in the lower left corner of the device, and then use the directional pad to navigate left until you reach the System Settings. Press down on the directional pad to enter the System Settings folder.
Format your memory stick. In the System Settings folder, you will find an option toward the bottom of the list that says "Format Memory Stick".^{[4] X Research source} Highlight this with your cursor and press the "X" button to open format options.

Re-link your account and other necessary files. Now that your PSP is finished formatting, you can return to where you found the system settings, to the left of the Home screen.
