yes as a ps3 owner i have found many ways, you have to downoad the information to a harddrive ... that's the most effective way i have found
you can delete it by transferring it to an extrenal hard drive, I believe.
Yes PS3 uses a standard lap top hard drive and you do not even need to use one from PS3
no they are not inchangeable
Obviously, if your PlayStation won't start, the amount of free space on the hard drive is the least of your problems. To make free space on the hard drive, you will need to get the PlayStation running.
You'll find the information at the PlayStation Support link I have added under the related link It is the link on the site for Manually back UpYou will need something to put the data on between taking it off the old harddrive and putting it on the new hard drive

you would have to remove the harddrive which is actually very easy You CANNOT just transfer the hard drive. The ps3 will format the new hard drive therefore erasing all data on the drive.
Yes the harddrive but not the data that you might also want.
PS3 uses a standard Laptop Harddrive and the PS3 has been designed to allow you to upgrade the harddrive with a 2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD see related link from Playstation support. Quote from related link,"The PS3 system hard disk drive (HDD) is removable and upgradeable. An upgrade can be performed by removing the hard drive and replacing it with a larger capacity drive. Please be advised that if you replace the hard drive, the data that was on the original hard drive will not show up on the PS3 unless you manually back up the data and transfer it to the replacement hard drive." For complete instructions on how to properly upgrade the hard disk drive, the related link has more information.

The PlayStation 3 was designed to allow the unit to take a standard size harddrive and it can be replaced. This is not something you are supposed to do , but something that can be done and I quote the related link for the PlayStation knowledge center : "The PS3 system hard disk drive (HDD) is removable and upgradeable. An upgrade can be performed by removing the hard drive and replacing it with a larger capacity drive. Please be advised that if you replace the hard drive, the data that was on the original hard drive will not show up on the PS3 unless you manually back up the data and transfer it to the replacement hard drive" The related link shows procedures to remove the harddrive from most PS3 models
nope
It is the same as a laptop hard drive
Hard drive.
Reformat hd. On the XMB go into the settings menu and you will find "Reformat hard drive".
Have you tried placing in a new hard drive? If not, try it. If it doesn't work, take it to a place where they fix PS3's or to the store where you bought the PS3 and see what they say.
Your hard disk drive (Or HDD) is the equipment that stores all the data on your system. This includes all save data, downloads, and user account on your system. Without an HDD the PS3 could not function properly.
