Will Re-doing my MAME collection affect my pre-existing playlists

[knup36]

Hey all! Noob question here...

 

I’d like to re-import and reorganize my entire mame/arcade set up. If I delete my arcade platform will it remove those games from playlists I’ve already created? 
 

I have playlists elsewhere in my set up that contain arcade games and I’d hate to have to re-add them back to the various playlists. 
 

thanks!
