These videos are super helpful and literally no one does a tutorial better than ETA Prime.
Excellent feature! Too many programs assume infinite hard drive space these days. I love that you guys though about little SD Card installs. Thank you!
Upgraded about a month ago to Big Box and I love this front end. These videos are awesome. Thanks so much man!
Great tutorial as always.
Fantastic, I didn't know this clean up tool was there before watching this!
Exactly what I needed. Thank you. 🎉🎉🎉
hooy fudge... i could had used this guide 1h30m ago. I was literally searching about this. Better late than never
my sensei...thanks..keep up
WOW was this always a thing? Trying it rn as I type this comment... For me, I'm starting with a Launchbox folder being 2.42 TB... Containing 655,890 files and 26,489 folders... Scanning is taking a very long time... Took maybe 20 minutes roughly and the scan found 55027 files... I deleted all check files and it removed 54894 of them successfully... Now the size of the Launchbox file is 2.37TB... Which comes out to a difference of 0.05TB, which translates to about 50GB... Not bad...
Use a 1Tb micro SD card, I have one in my Zenbook Pro Duo.
Will you be doing a tutorial for the ROG ALLY?
Hello mate, I would like to thank you and your colleagues for what you have done. My question is: for example, there are 2 clear logos of game x on the nintendo platform. one is 4 mb and high resolution, the other is 1 mb and lower resolution. Which image will be deleted in this cleaning process. The good quality one or the one with a bad image? I hope I explained it correctly. Thanks again.
Your images are named in some type of priority order. It will delete the ones that come after the first.
Does this method work for deleting duplicate media across both the LaunchBox server and the EmuMovies server? I tend to enable both LaunchBox and EmuMovies when importing a large group of files; including box art, screenshots and manuals. It can be a pain amending duplicates manually, so a reassurance that this works across both platform servers would be great (i.e. I'm not sure if the search merely looks for duplicate file names or duplicate image properties).
Will this clean up/remove all the empty region folders under the individual image type folders? Asia, Japan, North America, etc.. I usually wind up with hundreds of empty folders.
This will not remove those. The folders created are there because you added a game with that region for that specific platform. The folders are used for regionalized images that are downloaded from the LaunchBox Games Database, and are used for a bunch of priority logic from within LaunchBox itself based on your user settings.
Thanks!@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC
Does it clean files from deleted ones too? I have a lot of deleted ROMS in the MAME section, and I see that they remain in the Launchbox folders even after deleting them physically from the hard drive. Thank you.
quick question? Are you ETA Prime?
At 5:55 does anyone know the name of this theme? Thank you in advance!!

ETA Prime I have been watching you for years. I have always wondered how did you get started doing videos for LaunchBox? Just curious.
Too terrified of accidentally losing stuff to ever use this
Now if there was just a tool to clean up spelling....#spcae
lol, kidding. You should leave the thumbnail as is
Or it's just a clever way to really hit home that you need to start cleaning up your library. ;)
