But yet there it is on my launchbox list of platforms. I can delete it again and again and restart it comes back.

Almost always happens because you have files in your \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms folder that don't belong there. Typically are backup files or copy files. That is also where the data for platforms is saved and you can nuke a platform by deleting it's file (with LaunchBox closed).
