What it means
According to Sony, CE-32958-7 means the data may be corrupted. The console cannot use the application's data as it is, and the fix is to create new data or reinstall. That is why the order is backing up saved data, deleting the application and reinstalling from disc or the Library. The code points at an application's data, not a console part.
