How to get rid of hardware ROMs from list

Beside going through and manually removing them I don't know of any other way. Copy your current XML file to another location and then in LaunchBox remove all the MAME games by pressing ctrl+A and then right clicking one of the files and choosing delete. Then reimport your MAME roms using the tool. All of your media and metadata will all be in the same place as before and should be associated right back. If you don't like the results that you get you can always delete your xml and bring the copy you made back into LB and everything will be back to how it was before you made the changes.

No you are going to copy your XML that has all of your systems that you added. Then in LaunchBox you are going to go to your MAME/Arcade platform and use ctrl+A to remove only your MAME games so that only your other systems are present. Then you are going to add your MAME games to LB through the Lightspeed tool. If you do like the results you will have MAME and all of your current systems if you don't like and you put your original xml back in your LB folder you will have everything back that you have right now before you make the copy. So if you make changes and like the results its a win and if you don't like the results its a push because you still have exactly what you have now minus a little time but it should probably be much shorter than scrolling through and finding the files you don't want one at a time.

You do not need to remove any of your other systems, just the MAME ones, copying the XML is just in case you want to go back to before you did any changes, like @DOS76 said, just use CTRL+A when you are in the Arcade platform to select all the MAME games only and remove just them.
