      Hi, I've noticed that games I have deleted are still showing up on my games lists and being counted when viewing the systems. All Games is also not reflecting any changes to deleted games.

      I've got the metadata save on exit and have restarted ES loads of times but they are still there.

      It seems to be mainly happening to my custom folders that I set up via es_systems. naomi and tg16.

      I'm using the Pi 4 beta image that I updated yesterday.

        Did you set Parse Gamelists Only to on in emulation station settings?

          Thanks for the reply :)
          I did have it set on. I've sitched it off and the games list is no longer showing the deleted games. It's now counting and showing my folders etc in each system though. I rebooted ES and enabled parse gameslist only and the deleted games have reappeared..

          I'm thinking that the only way to get rid of them is to manually edit the gameslist.xml..

              It also depends on the scraper used. Selph's scraper has to be set to overwrite the gamelist to get rid of orphaned entries. Skyscraper recreates the gamelist entirely anyway as far as I remember, so there should be nothing to consider with this scraper.

              I don't have any experience with other scrapers. In short, just make sure the gamelist is completely generated anew and not just expanded.

                This problem is a lot worse than I first though and its happening to all my gameslists. Emulationstation is not updating the gameslist.xml's for all systems or creating new ones . For example, I have just added 6 psp isos and I can't see them in emulationstaion. I already had 67 iso files in the /roms/psp folder. I added the 6 and my games count hasn't changed. If I switch off parse gameslist, I can then see them but it's not creating or adding the new isos to my gameslist. I have deleted the gameslist.xml (I only have one for each system, all in the /gameslist/<systems> folders, to see if that would force it create a new one from the roms folder but it hasn't.

                In summary, newly added roms don't show up, roms I have deleted in the past few months have reappeard in my gameslist (don't work obviously), 'All Games' is also not updating automatically and showing previously deleted games. I have restarted ES after every change with no difference, no matter if I save metadata on exit, always or never

                My build is a straight image of the 4.6 beta for the Pi4 that I just copied my theme, roms and scraped media from my old 4.5 build. I use skyscraper for scraping if that helps.

                  Stupid question - but can you check if you have enough free space on your disc ? Can you post your \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_settings.cfg file ?

                          Stop EmulationStation, then remove/rename the customized es_systems.cfg from the folder and then restart EmulationStation - see if anything changes.

                            removed the file as requested and restarted ES. No change, still showing deleted files and not creating new lists...

                              @Steams71 Then maybe it's a permission issue - are your gamelist.xml files writeable by the pi user ?

                                Checked permissions on them all, pi user has full access to read and write..

                                    sadly, me too :( never had anything like this before.. Really annoying because, apart from that I love the the new pi 4 retropie. I'll keep plugging awaym, see if I can fix it, but it's looking like I might have to start over again..

                                      @Steams71 I'm not sure I see the problem. If you have a gamelist XML with some entries. And you add more files. They are not supposed to get added automatically to the gamelist unless you scrape them or add meta data for them manually.

                                      So they will only show up with parse gamelists only off until you do that. That setting should be off unless you have everything you want scraped and need to speed up startup.

                                        I'm having an issue on mi pi 4 ver 4.6 when it comes to deleting games too.

                                        I notice that when I deleted games from emulation station in my dreamcast and playstation systems it appeared to remove the game but when I connect my pi to a network the games are still there for some reason.
