@Sardu @CrownedMartyr To "hide" consoles that you don't want to appear on the Emulationstation, just delete ALL the content inside the console folder that you want to "hide" (if you delete the folder it will be recreated automatically, so don't delete the folder, only its contents Don't worry about the readme file: if you delete the folder, it will be recreated.)

There is a known issue about deleted games still appearing on Recalbox, the team is working on it:
https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/issues/1390

For now, so that this error doesn't happen, delete all the roms you don't want, and, update the gamelist with some external software, such as Skraper or ARRM:

About the gamelist files being read-only, you need to access in write mode and stop the emulationstation while editing / deleting the gamelists, see the SSH commands here:

@sag508 it's a known issue. Thanks.

Thanks for replies. I went on disc internals and installed the free version, works great . I'll look into the other recommendations and get familiarised with them. Thanks again and a thumbs up for disc internals installation.

When you browse a rom list in a system, scroll to the rom then: button 'select' => choose edit => choose delete. This will be handle nicely by emulation station. Otherwise you can handle it by plugging your micro sd on your pc.
