3dlollo Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I have the option to remove the roms when I delete an entry in launchbox. It works for all the systems where the roms are in the launchbox games folder; but it seems not working if the roms are on the desktop I have a folder with some FBA roms; that I wanted to check; I don't need to add them to my games folder, so I imported the roms and picked the option to leave the roms in the original location (on my desktop on windows) I deleted games, and I don't get the prompt that ask me if I want to delete the associated rom. It works with all the other sytem, so I guess the problem is in the roms being on the desktop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 'Windows seeing 3rd party software attempting to access special folders' thing. It might also be a LaunchBox seeing this [type] folder location and saying "I'm not even going to try." Hence, no prompt. You'd see the same thing if you placed them in "C:\Program Files\" and several others. What I've done is created the folder "C:\scratch\". In there I'll put roms for testing, programs to try out, etc. I have too much shtuff on my Desktop already (a personal problem ) but also a shortcut to my scratch folder. Of course when testing roms in LB, you need to point to the actual folder and not the desktop [shortcut] one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
