Nope, changing your PSN name won't delete your data. Your saved games, Trophies, and friends list stay intact – just a fresh name!
Personal experience here: I changed my PSN name last month, and all my game data, saves, and friends were still there. No worries!
Hot take: Changing your PSN name risks nothing. Just go for it if you want a new ID!
