Hi, I am performing a clean up because I have tons of SNES beta and hack versions I want to get rid of. The thing is when I manually delete them on the corresponding folder and I go for a new scan for removed items within SNES section what I find is the versions are still appearing on right click over the game (even these are not working, of course). I have tried restarting LB and scanning several times with no results. Any ideas? Thanks beforehand

Is there any way to remove a game from Launchbox, and at the same time, delete the actual file so as to conserve space?

Tried already a bit of everything but nothing works, the "Windows" platform and all the 119 Windows (all Steam) I setup before, I try to delete either just a few or all them (119), but after I restart LB or BB the show up again, can't remove, also a crap not having a simple checkbox for a feature like "Display/include Platform in BB", this way we could avoid this issue and having to deal with hacks to hide/disable all the games for one specific platform. Anyone got a solution to remove all the STEAM games form LB/BB ? Thanks in advance. UPDATE: Problem is solved for now, here what was done if helps for other cases. So I deleted now all Windows folders from /Launchbox/Images & Images/Platforms. From Data/Emulators.xml I deleted all nodes with "none" as platform (just in case). Then from Data/Parents.xml removed all nodes for "Windows" platform. And then same action for file Data/Platforms.xml. Finally moved away all files inside Backups folder to some place outside /Launchbox. Final step, BEFORE launching LB or BB I restarted the PC, then BB started and no Windows platform, so for now seems success. Removing "Windows.xml" isn't enough. If this issue returns I will post. Regards.

I found an old link that i believe is what i want to ask about. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/101/add-option-to-delete-game-file-s-when Was this topic ever implemented? And if so... (scratchs head) umm how do i do it? I know i can use the delete option to remove roms from my lists. But i have so many junk games i do NOT want in my library at all. And to be clear, i am looking for an option like from most torrent programs where you can either "delete torrent" or "delete torrent and data". Thank you

I really like how launch box merges roms with the same name and only one game is displayed. Would love to see a feature that allows us delete roms based on region preferences. For example; if I had mortal kombat (usa), mortal kombat (pal), and mortal kombat (japan), I could set up region preference to keep usa roms but when a usa Rom is not available to keep a pal Rom but when neither the usa or pal Rom is available to keep a Japan Rom. The would be awesome. If this feature is already available please let me know. Thank you!!

I'm trying to delete my full arcade collection because I do not like the way I imported the games (too many clones), I cannot do it because launchbox hangs up when I try to select all games inside arcade and press del. Is there another way to delete all games inside arcade? I tried to delete the arcade.xml but the archive keeps creating itself again when I enter launchbox and the games are still there, it's like magic... Any ideas?

The database have a bug, and a bunch of partially deleted entries. When you find a entry without any image or developer/publisher data is a partially deleted one. Please don't send again to moderation to delete it, or add data. Is a waste of time. Jason is working to manage the issue.
