Hi,

just trying to resolve a problem.

If I delete a category platform, all the platforms and playlists that are under his branch keep on existing, right? 

When I delete a normal platform, all the roms are removed from LB/BB database? The roms media are still kept?

If I delete a platform or playlist media related to playlist and platform are deleted or are kept? (clear logo, marque, platform video etc)

 

ty very much!

If you delete a Category, all platforms and playlists will remain and move to the root.

If you delete a Platform, all games inside get removed from your LaunchBox library, you get an option to delete your media if you'd like.

If you delete a Playlist, all games and media are kept.

None of these options will delete your ROMs.

I know that are simple questions but it is difficult to find all details and now that I have a very big collection, for me, with a lot of manual adjustment in picture or  setting, I am afraid to make a mess. I usually prefer to touch nothing!
But it is time to get a new MAME set rom with the new playlists, and deleting is the best way to arrange that, it seems.

Thank you very much for your time! I appreciate it!!!
