Removing the Early Release from your Hard Drive

On 360 from the Dashboard:
  • Go to My Xbox -> Select System Settings -> Memory -> Hard Drive -> Games -> Madden NFL 12 -> Delete Madden NFL 12 Early Release
On PS3 from the XMB menu:
  • Highlight "Game" -> Navigate to the Madden NFL 12 Early Release game that has been installed -> Select the triangle button for Options -> Delete
There will likely be multiple save files (e.g. profile, rosters, etc.) in addition to the game. Delete the Early Release game file (4.8 GB on 360) only. Only delete the additional files if you are certain that you have a newer version saved from the retail game and no longer want or need the early release files.

The ability to play the retail game does not require you to delete the Early Release; you can delete it at any time.
