It looks like the DLC for 300,000 Red Orbs, which you can get from early retail copies, is disc-based and cannot be removed at all once you've installed it. If not disc-based, then at least not removable as far as I know. The file size, when I look in my download library/history, is "N/A" as opposed to listing a regular file size like the 2-costume DLC for Lady and Trish (listed at about 200MB) which can actually be removed normally.

I've tried just about everything I can to get rid of the damn Orbs.

I've done complete uninstalls of the game data, which is supposed to clear all DLC associated with the game, but it still remains installed when I check my Add-Ons from the PS Store. But, as mentioned above, the costume DLC is uninstalled just fine. I also can't select the DLC itself to try deleting it manually, which I'm not sure you can do on the PS4 to begin with. I've also played the game at version 1.00 to see if 1.01 was automatically doing something. Nope, still there. I made sure that the save files all had above 300k Orbs so that it could be subtracted without any issues. I've deleted all save files for it on my system (after backing it up of course), created brand new saves... and still no good. I've tried different methods for about 2.5 hours now with no luck.

This is obviously an issue for me, as someone who runs this game on a retail copy on the PS4 and has installed this stupid Red Orb DLC once, a while ago now.

Every run I do starts with 300k Red Orbs from the beginning. All of my practice runs have never had the Orb count go below 300k -- a normal NG run -- and would like to start submitting stuff, but I don't know if it is against the rules just to have it installed at all.

Thanks.
