Select “Activate as Your Primary PS4” from the “Account Management” menu. This will ensure that the account is properly removed from your PS4.

**Step 5: Select “Deactivate”

Select “Deactivate” to confirm that you want to remove the account from your PS4. You will be prompted to enter your PSN account password to complete the process.

When you remove a PSN account from your PSN, the following will happen:
