@ChrisJoynt1 it might be that you need to delete Battlefield on your console in order to perform a new install of the game. Do you own the physical or digital copy of Battlefield 4?
But before you do that, check the following workaround and keep us updated:
To reset your console or to rebuild your console data base, you need to enter the PS4 safety mode. To restart or update the system as well as rebuilding the database could do the trick:
Starting the PS4 in Safe Mode
- Turn off the PlayStation 4 by pressing the power button on the front panel. The power indicator will blink for a few moments before turning off.
- Once the PlayStation 4 is off, press and hold the power button. Release it after you've heard two beeps: one when you initially press, and another 7 seconds later.
- Connect the DualShock 4 controller with the provided USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.
Safe Mode Options
The following options are available in Safe Mode:
- Restart System - Ends Safe Mode and restarts the PlayStation 4 normally.
- Update System Software - Allows the PlayStation 4 to update the system software via Internet, USB Drive, or Disc.
- Rebuild Database - Scans the drive and creates a new database of all content.
This operation may take a long time depending on the type and number of data items.

Yes it should, when you reinstall a game in reinstalls the game and your progress is saved through your hard drive.

On which of the 5 platforms are you playing? Your trophies will be safe, however depending on which items you manually delete (depending on platform) your settings may be deleted. Your soldier progress is stored on DICE's stats servers so that will be safe as well.
