      I am new to retropie. I have read several forums to try and remove my scrape data.
      these instructions seem to be what I need but I don't know how or where to apply.

      /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/
      select the relevant console from the list and just delete the games you require from the gamelist.xml file then rescrape.

      How do I do this?
      Would I take my micro card out of retro pie and plug it into my computer to locate the xml file?
      or is this something I do in the pi?
      If this is code in pi then I am lost. [link text]([link url](link url))does anyone have step by step instructions?

        @KANE81 it would do you well to learn the terminal, very useful skill.

        You can access the terminal over SSH:

        https://retropie.org.uk/docs/SSH/

        You can also access your files under sftp with something like winscp or filezilla.

        Or over samba shares from Windows on your network if your pi is connected

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
