How to clean up empty catagories/playlists

[matttripwire]

Hi all,

I am trying to clean up my drive that had comics in launchbox which I deleted, but now my platform catagory and playlist still has them all listed and was wondering if there was an easy way to remove them without having to delete one by one. Thanks

Only other options are this time are use plugins to do so (unsure if we have a community one that does this) or alter the XML file (you'd want \\LaunchBox\Data\Parents.xml I believe). Both should be used with caution and you should back up before playing around with either method. As some one with with just shy of 2700 playlists in their collections I personally went with the former solution, I'd share but it has a lot of logic in it very specific to my build as so just wouldn't make much sense to anyone else. I admit though this path forward requires coding skills which many may not possess.
