(slams head against desk in defeat)

I tried removing every instance of the path: "Nintendo Super Nintendo Entertainment System" from the platforms.XML file, carefully using notepad++ in launchbox\data\ and there were quite a few entries, I got them all..opened Launchbox... SAME ISSUE

Import finished. I have the games in the category I wanted now (the default) named one, it is using the correct named images/games path and that is good. But guess what platform is back too? Yup, it's like a cancer...I can't just get rid of it...

Agreed, I just wish I knew how to KILL this platform in FIRE and start over with it!

re-importing now with manually typed Super Nintendo entertainment system platform during import wizard...we will see...

Yes many times...they go away, even chose delete roms when I do (of course moving roms before I do that) then on re-open the entries are back.

Even after LB reinstall, Super Nintendo Entertainment System still does not appear in the import wizard dialog of options...I have to type it in, yet every other platform on planet earth does...

LOL I reinstalled LB to the same path, and it opens again with (Nintendo Super Nintendo Entertainment System as a platform on the left with 970 (empty) game entries, full covers and all. Going to try your manual import and see what happens....but I have to get rid of this platform either way...

Will that make launchbox stop re-creating these folders I don't want called (Nintendo Super Nintendo Entertainment System) in IMAGES, MANUALS, MUSIC, GAMES, and VIDEOS that keep getting created over and over, no matter how many times I delete them? I don't get why this happens when there is no XML file anymore...

I can't re-import my roms like I normally would because it's not letting me choose "Super Nintendo Entertainment System' as the platform during the import wizard...it's totally missing as a system to choose...

If I install launchbox over my install, I'll lose nothing as per this thread (last post) or is that not the came anymore?

Can you provide me your Super Nintendo XML file in your Launchbox\data\platforms folder? I'm missing that....

one last attempt, I ran scan for removed roms, it found all roms removed and deleted them and the category (like it does when I do it manually) and it gave me an error this time...going to re-import next...

Okay I'll try a re-import with the new settings hopefully that does it...but shouldn't I just be able to permanently delete a platform if I want?

Weird as I'm going through and creating this I noticed sometimes when I browse each entry it pops me into the NINTENDO SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM - which shouldn't be there BECAUSE I delete it every few minutes...something is re-creating this folder....

the paths still show the old NINTENDO SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM path, not the one I want: SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM I can't think of anything else to try...

I'm painstakingly/annoyingly going through and renaming each of these which makes me browse from explorer COMPUTER root every time I click BROWSER on an entry to find it...we'll see if that helps...

I I renamed it, and all video and images files, including platforms, theme folders, EVERYTHING to the original one (by removing the 'Nintendo' from the start of it) and it STILL comes up with Nintendo Super Nintendo Entertainment System as a platform on the left side, with all 970 games I've been trying to delete... If I right click a game and go OPEN FOLDER, I get L:\LaunchBox\Games\Super Nintendo Entertainment System (empty, my games are elsewhere for now) If I right click on a game and choose GO TO IMAGES, I get: L:\LaunchBox\Images\Nintendo Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Box - Front (empty of files too cause I cleaned it out/moved it) I have no idea...I'm floored.

Just letting you all know, there is a newer version out: https://github.com/FaithLV/WPF_Spectabis/releases/tag/1.0.6

No like I said I renamed it...well technically I guess I created a new platform and named it that...if I edit that it's a PLATFORM

Is it just because the images are there? That should no't matter, right?,...I figured I'd re-import and just uncheck the images to save time...

I tried that...it's not there anymore, but it's still coming back everytime.... :-/ (queue scary music)

I've right clicked it on left and deleted it, I've CTRL+A all the games in it and deleted (keeping the roms and moving them elsewhere) I plan on re-importing them, but since renaming my super nintendo category to nintendo super nintendo (to list them close to nintendo, this was before we could choose to SORT name them I believe), I've had nothing but trouble with art not showing up (even though I moved it to the new folder), or Super Famicom games getting mixed up, etc...coming back continually after deleting it and restarting LB, etc...got the super famicom section worked out now, but I need to start over with SNES... Everytime I delete it and close LB, it's back when I re-open it...help! Thanks in advance!

Where can I get the sorting tool by Turranius? Thanks.

Yes finally I've earned my name! BTW I've had that name since the web/internet started circa '95 or so...and I'm still hardly ever clever, maybe I should come up with a new one...
