Remove Old Media When Changing a Game’s Platform

📋 Summary

When a game is moved from Platform A to Platform B, LaunchBox copies all associated media to the new platform—but the media in the old platform’s folder is not removed. This leaves behind unused images that only get cleared later when running Cleanup Media, often causing confusion about why hundreds of files are being deleted.

🎯 Feature Request

When a game’s platform is changed, LaunchBox should:

  • Automatically remove the game’s media from the old platform

    OR

  • Provide a prompt asking whether to delete the old media after copying

    OR

  • Offer a global setting controlling this behavior

📦 Benefits

  • Prevents buildup of unused images

  • Makes Cleanup Media results more predictable

  • Keeps platform folders tidy and accurate
