Hello,
I bought a game this morning on "Playstationstore" which is 14 GB
After downloading, I wanted to launch it and a message appeared: "insufficient space on the system" or something like that.
So I deleted a number of things to free up space on the hard drive.
When I go to system info it shows: Free space 25GB/37GB and yet nothing works the game won't install.
If someone knows the solution, thank you
Configuration: Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5) / Safari 6.0.2

I have never seen a conversation where so much nonsense was spoken.
First of all, Snouviale: 25 Gb is indeed the free space on your PS3, and if you deleted all the data on your PS3, you would never have 37 Gb free but rather about 30, because the reported memory is the memory of the console completely empty, meaning with nothing at all: no system software or anything. In reality, you never have the announced amount but always several Gb less due to the installed software needed to make it work. For example, I have a 320 Gb PS3, but when I checked at purchase, I actually had only 310 or 316 Gb free if I remember correctly.
Moreover, speed-ouest, 25 Gb does indeed represent the free space.
Furthermore, to download a game or a video and install it, your PS3 system must temporarily have additional free space on the hard drive.
The extra space is approximately equal to the size of the content. For example, to download a 14 Gb game, you need about 28 Gb of space on your PS3 hard drive. Once the content is installed, the extra 14 Gb will be available again.
If you buy a game or a video on the PlayStation Store and do not have enough free space on the hard drive to download and install it on your PS3, you will know before your purchase goes through.
If you decide to proceed with the transaction, you will not be able to download the content to your PS3 right away. You can free up space to download the content before or after the purchase, using one of these methods:
-by upgrading your hard drive
-by backing up your hard drive data to an external hard drive
Note:
Some PS3s without saved content may be low on available memory. This is because part of the hard drive's memory is allocated for its administration and maintenance. To check the free space on your PS3 hard drive, go to (Settings) > System Settings > System Information in the XMB(TM) menu.

Finally, I know where to find the available memory.
