DeadVoivod Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 When I run the clean up media, it shows me a lot of files that are marked "file not in use". Can I safely remove those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Does nobody know this? Don’t wanna try out and lose all my files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yes. Those are files that 0 games in your library point to and should be safe to delete if you do not plan to re-add those games later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 I shows me basically only with Amiga games which I only added recently, around 1.000 games. It shows me that it are those files, why would they not be in use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Did you manually add the images to the folder? Typically if the game IS in your library but the file IS NOT in use it is because the file isn't named correctly so LaunchBox doesn't know to use it.

DeadVoivod Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Automatically added. Games show images correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 After investigating further, I found out that those files are also kind of duplicates. I checked f.ex. for game A1 and found image box_3d_a1.png under Images\3DBoxArt of that platform. If you then check under the folder f.ex. Images\3DBoxArt\World of that same platform, there's exactly the same file existing. So LB decides which one of those it takes, the one from the root Images folder, or the one in said region folder, thus making one of them obsolete, duplicate.
