Retaining Metadata from a former collection.

Basically this. I've spent seven days dumping the LB Database and EmuMovies to collect my metadata, Meanwhile, I've also been playing around with The Bezel Project and I've noticed my SNES roms are just defaulting to the generic system bezel and not the individual game bezels when I load then. The bezel is working, but I've heard the roms need to be No intro named. I now have a collection of SNES No Intro labeled Roms, if I delete the old games, will LB reallocate the metadata to the new roms when I import them, or will I need to redownload everything again?

Or, just go to the bezel folders and rename them to what the roms are called.

The bezels can be named anything as long as they are the same as the roms.

Nice Pro Tip! Hopefully it doesn't come down to that. I'd rather just skip renaming 1000+ roms this week and wait for the new Metadata. ? In my case, it seems LaunchBox already can detect miss labeled Roms and match them to metadata. If I don't clear the Metadata, will LaunchBox recycle the information for the new files?

In my experience it will keep metadata for all the roms you have.

In the end to use the bezels you will need to do some renaming.

Depends on how important it is to you.

2 hours and it would be done.
