Unused Game Data alert

This alert will let us know that theres game data not being used and help us delete it. Saving us time to individually delete unused memory under Game Data Utility folder.

This would be annoying if it popped up all the time. If someone else wants it cool, but I’d want to deactivate it.

Or it could run in background like windows does when you add/remove programs. Like if you were to go into game data it could show when you last accessed the data and how often you access it over a 3 month period.

It can also pop up when your running low on HDD space. At a certain point your PS3 wont let you install anything if you have about 5GB of memory left. This alert will be perfect for that situation.

as a reminder this is Game Data. NOT SAVE DATA. Save’s will be completely safe. Game data seems to be the culprit of many hard drive space everywhere.
