zorkiii Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I am not sure how long it's been this way on my setup or why/how, but in Platform Categories I am seeing all of my Platforms listed as individual entries (outside of the core Arcade, Computers, Consoles, and Handhelds categories). I wanted to organize my games in a different way with nesting, and then discovered this issue. I thought the easiest thing to do would be just right click and delete the category from Platform Categories, however after doing this for a few it also removed the Platform itself. For instance Atari 2600 was in Platform Categories, right clicked the platform and received: If I edit the Platform Category and check the root settings I'm seeing: Removing it from those brings Finally deleting the Platform Category by clicking 'Yes' on the first screenshot above removes the category but also the platform of Atari 2600 itself. I then have to re-import all my roms, which resolves the issue (Atari 2600 is listed in Platforms and no longer exists in Platform Categories as a separate listing of Atari 2600), but would rather not have to go through that last step of having to re-import everything. I guess my question is, is there a way to remove something listed in Platform Categories that I don't want to be there, without having to remove the platform itself and re-import my roms? From what I understand the default categories are Arcade, Computers, Consoles, and Handhelds. I have those, but for some reason also have all my Platforms listed outside of those categories too and wanted to just remove those from the categories list. For instance as shown below, Commodore 64 (among others) is an entry in Platform Categories outside of the Computers category.

I apparently need a great deal more coffee this morning, thank you for that @Belgarath I am a bit curious how this issue came about, likely something I did at some point (?) but again, not sure.
