How do i remove Platform Categories?

[Mute64]

I have some how managed to add "Light Gun Games" and "Pinball" to my platform categories. ... both categories show up in BigBox but not in LaunchBox.... so im not sure how to edit or delete them.

id like to know this too - i dont like bigbox with all the categories - id prefer it to say Arcade

In LaunchBox, in the left pane, if you go to the drop down (where you can choose various view categories), choose playlists from the bottom. When it changes over to them, on the right, right click a playlist and choose edit. That should give you the info you need. I'm gonna loop @Jason Carr in too, just in case that it is a bug just in case.

I'm very confused now the post is about Platform Categories and not Playlist correct?

You're right, whoops. I read things wrong. My only guess then would be to edit the platforms and check to see if a platform with no games is attached to the platform. I read "Light Gun Games", and in my head I went, "oh, playlists".

This is because I still need to add platform category management to the 7.9 betas guys. I should have that in later this week.

I assume you mean how do you put a category inside of a platform? You right-click on the category in the LaunchBox sidebar and then click Edit. Then go to the Parents tab and check the box next to the platform.
