What is the best way to select games and delete them from our game library?

[CORVAX]

Hi group!

Normally I always load Bigbox directly when I start my arcade machine, and when I create a new platform and import its romset or its game catalog, I like to delete the games that I know I will never play.  My question is if is it possible to delete games directly from bigbox?  or what would be the fastest way.

Normally what I do is mark them from bigbox as favorites and then in LaunchBox enter the system and load the playlist / filter of favorites and there they appear, and then group select to erase them, but it is not the most optimal way since I have some real favorites in that list that I do not want to delete .

I have tried to mark them in bigbox as broken, but in LaunchBox I don't see a filter or a playlist with Broken marked games, like the favorite playlist. Then....  What is the way do you have to delete them or mark them for deletion from bigbox?  Or what way would be the most effective?

 

Thanks!

Just use Launchbox and hold CTRL and click on the games you want to delete, then right click on one and choose delete.

Hi @neil9000

I know this, but I’m looking a method to mark the games in bigbox, and then finally open Launchbox and only open a playlist or filter with those games included, like favorites list. 

I thinked to do with Break games checking option, but when after I open Launchbox I cant view any filter o playlist with break games, like the default favorites list/filter.

Do you know another method??

 

Thanks

Create a New Playlist and call it whatever you want. Then you can add each game to that playlist. In LB you can then go to that playlist and remove all the games.

Perfect, I have create a new playlist directly in BigBox and now from LB I can filter by the playlist created, and choose my playlist to delete games included in this new playlist. 

 

Thanks for your help.
