One of the most common PS5 errors is the CE-100005-6, which happens when there is some issue reading the disc, an internal storage problem, or a random glitch in the console. It can be quickly fixed by reinserting the disc or deleting the paused games from the download queue, along with many other solutions.
When the PS5 CE-100005-6 error occurs, you will see the following message:
- PS5 error CE-100005-6 is a disc-related issue that prevents the console from reading the disc.
- An unstable internet connection, scratches or dust on the disc, and low internal storage can be its core reasons.
- You can resolve it by cleaning the disc, making space on your PS5 console, or factory resetting the console.
Obsessively Clean The Disc
When the PlayStation is having trouble reading the disc, you should consider Cleaning it, as the dust gathered on it may be the primary reason for the error.

Free Up Internal Storage
I have observed that this error occurs when there is insufficient storage space on PS5. Even if the game has a file size of 50 GB and you have 55 GB of free storage, the game always needs some extra storage.
So, if you are experiencing the error, go through all of your apps and games to delete the unwanted ones. I also use this method whenever I get a similar error, and it works most of the time. This technique has worked for other users as well on the GameSpot forum.

These are the methods you can try to fix the CE-100005-6 error on your PS5. This error usually means that either the disc is faulty or dirty, or there is not enough storage in the system. Some glitches can also cause this error which can be fixed by Rebuilding the PS5 database. You can also try factory resetting the console, which has allowed users to overcome this issue.
