Corrupt PS3 game data

[x7h3CUREx]

This morning I decided to do a cleanup of game data on my ps3 but when i tried to delete the resistance 3 game data it just hung and said deleting. I couldn't cancel it so i left it for about half an hour because i didn't want to turn the console off while it was accessing the hdd but eventually i had no other choice.
Anyway, when i turned it back on i've got the ugly corrupted data symbol where the resistance 3 data was and i still can't delete it.
I don't know whether the corrupt data is still taking up the 2gb of space but the main thing is i hate having that dodgy symbol sitting there.

Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the corrupt data other than reformatting to factory setttings?

i think there is a file restore option by holding down the power button (i cant remember how long for) but it brings up five options i think, and the the file restore option i think is the one to go for.

a quick google search should tell you, sorry i cant give you a link im on the ipod.
but its best to do a system back up just incase.
have had the same problem before and did the same thing, didnt lose any data, except the corrupted data, but still back up anyway.

yeah i found that and tried it but for some reason my file still couldn't be deleted. i tried the 'restore file system' option but i might give it another go or try some of the other options.
