Tweed Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Over the years I have deleted and changed names of platforms quite a few times. I keep all my games in my launchbox game folder. But it still has all my old platform folders in here that i have deleted or changed. I have tried deleting them but they just keep on coming back. So I got all the game folders i use and all the old ones sitting there with 0 files in them. Is there a cache file or something I can delete to wipe them from there for good? Mild annoyance but if fixable, great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweed Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Nah, I tried that. Even did the really long clean up. No go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I would assume you have platforms still in LB that don't have games so you don't see them in the sidebar but they DO exist in LaunchBox and so still recreate those folders. Look in your "Manage Platforms" window, are the platforms listed there? If so delete them and then delete the folders and they shouldn't reappear.

I musta 0'd out the roms or something instead of actually deleting the platform... Idk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yeah that tends to happen when people just enter a platform and select all and delete, instead of right clicking the platform name and deleting the platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickfx Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) I have the same issue. In my case i went in LB, right-click the platform, use delete option. But it is worst, the folder structure are still there with all images. How can i get out of there. Sure i can delete manually but i tend to evitate manual intervention , sometimes, that hide more long time problem.... Any suggestion ?
