Delete Save States
-
I'm fairly new to Retropie (currently using a Pi 3) and I'm simply trying to delete all save states from all games in my Pi. Why you ask? No good reason other than I'm slightly OCD and want a clean machine as I tweak it to my liking. I've honestly read through the forums and can't seem to find an explanation that I understand, given my limited ability to understand the technical jargon being used.
So, can I easily delete these save states directly from my Pi (possibly through the command lines)? Does it have to be through my PC with the SD card (not preferred)? Is there some easier solution altogether? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can issue the following command to search all state files :
find /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ -name *.state
If it's good for you, juste add -delete to the command line :
find /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ -name *.state -delete -
@Sano your guidance was simple and worked liked a charm. Really appreciate the support!

@Sano said in Delete Save States:
find /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ -name *.state
Sorry, a little tweak to this :)
find /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ -name *.state*as subsequent save states append a number to it, not to mention in some emulators it starts in "1" rather than blank. :)

I created a save folder into the rom dir, if I want to delete save games I just do it on my Windows machine via the network. It's not the best solution but it does the job.
