I want to basically restart, like I'm setting it up for the the first time out of the box. Get rid of everything, trophies, saves, etc. And get a new PSN ID. Is that possible?

You can get rid of it on your PS3 but it will still exsist and you can logg back in to it. So basicly no you cant delete it but you can get rid of it off your PS3. You can make as many PSN profiles as you want, I have 4, of course only one is my main one with all my trophies and friends.

Oh really? I thought I would have to reformat (however you do that). And I heard it was one user per PS3, apparently I heard wrong.

So if I got rid of my account would my trophies still be there? (maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying). Or does each account you have contain unique trophies that that user?

You can have multiple users on a PS3. I have 7 set up currently on my PS3 for different reasons.

Just out of curiousity, is there like a main, admin name? Or are they all like the same in their functions and everything?

after logging in with the current account/user name, at the xmb go to the farthest left look for your user name then press triangle then select delete OR just create a new one without deleting the one you want to delete(which i did before).

Look man, you can delete your profile off your PS3, BUT it still exsist in the network, SONY's network. Your account wont be in your PS3 anymore but since its still in SONY's stuff so you can still sign in with it if you want. I think if you really want to delete your profile permanetly off the networks, u have to call SONY.

No. You cannot permanently delete your PSN ID or the trophies that are linked to that ID. You can however delete your profile off of your PS3 and the Saved Game Data that came with your PS3 ID.

Yes and here is how: 1) Go to the far left on the XMB (PS3 main menu) 2) Click "Create new user" 3) Now just sign up to the PSN again. All your trophies will be gone as its a new account. Sorry if this doesn't show up right. Im typing this from my PS3 and it likes to squish everything together.
