      Hello. I am currently running Retropie 4.4 with a basic carbon theme and have scraped all my systems with the built in scraper for box art and a video scraper from Stephen Selph.

      What I noticed is that under my retropie menu is that I have some unwanted text above the description. Say for Wifi, above "Connect to or disconnect from a wifi network and configure settings." It gives me unknown, unknown, unknown and Players: 1

      I was going to remove these from the gamelist.xml at \retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\gamelists\retropie but there doesn't appear to be any reference to them, just an actual description of settings.

      Is this in another location?

        @hanky42 No, there isn't. Since these metadata values don't exist for those entries, Emulationstation just shows 'unknown'.

            I was able to edit other gamelist.xml files in each individual roms folders and modify their content. Why would this be unique and not have those values shown? I would at least hope to see the xml have some sort of tag or comment. Then I can go in there and remove them. Is there a way to reset it back to before I scraped it?
