Please clearly explain how to remove games and platforms without deleting them on device.

I want to use Launchbox solely for retro gaming including snes, genesis and arcade. However there is an Android platform and I'm unable to remove Android platform from Launchbox. I also can't remove games without deleting them.

I have searched and found a solution but I guess it doesn't apply for Android version because there are no such options on my latest version Launcbox for Android.

Just long-press on the platform banner, then select 'Delete'.
Same with individual games. Long-press to get the menu and then press delete.

I have tried it but it says "it will delete the content and there will be no undoing." Are you sure it won't delete the content itself?

Check under Options > Parse/Add Android Games on Startup

Make sure that's turned off.

It's off.

Is there really no way to hide games/platforms?

If that's off and you are still seeing Android games, then you just do what what first suggested. Long press the platform and remove it. This will remove the game entry/content from LaunchBox, not your device.

If you want to remove platforms without deleting them on Android, try this: head to your platform list, tap and hold on Android, and see if a remove or edit option pops up. As for removing games, a quick trick is to go to the game list, long-press the game you want to be gone, and see if a remove option appears. Additionally, I’d like to share that I've recently discovered some real cash app games that aren’t just fun but also let you earn a little extra on the side—double win! They've added a cool twist to my gaming routine, and if you're up for something new, I thought I'd share the joy.
