Re-importing platform; use former media instead of downloading again?

As the title suggests, due to some issues, I had to delete my library. I started re-adding my roms, but saw that LB is re-downloading all the media for the roms. Wouldn't they still be there from previous install? Or does LB delete media as well when deleting library?

Just uncheck all the media options except for the metadata when re-importing. You are right media is not deleted and is still there, but unless you unchecked those download options you are telling Launchbox to download it all again, so you will have duplicates of everything.
