Best way to delete 'every thing' from a particular console

Hello,

I was not able to get my Gamecube games to run in Launchbox. So, since I am still new, I thought, for now, that I would just go back to my old method of playing GCN/Wii games.

When I right click on "Nintendo Gamcube" from the 'Consoles' section in the Launchbox sidebar and choose 'delete,' I get a warning message.

It says, "This will PERMANENTLY delete the following platform INCLUDING ALL ASSOCIATED GAMES from your collection:"

This won't touch my games that are not in my Launchbox folder, correct? My Launchbox folder and "Gamecube ROMs" folder are on the same drive, though. Anyway, I just want to be sure that I can safely delete 'Nintendo GameCube' from Launchbox without mucking anything else up.

Also, if I delete Nintendo GameCube, will the cover images, etc... be removed as well, or do I have to manually do that?

Thanks!

Sorry for the silly question, but I am not particularly good with computers and I don't want to inadvertently eradicate my library.

There is an option via Tools > Options to delete ROMs on game deletion. If that is off no ROM files will ever be deleted from your drive. Even if it's on that deletion event has it's own popup explicitly for it. When deleting the platform the first prompt is just saying that it deletes all LB game entries within that platform. If that option is on a second prompt should appear asking if you want to delete the ROM files. Then a final prompt appears asking if you'd like us to remove all artwork/media you have for this platform.
