Delete some METADATA

It is possible to delete (blank) all or part of the METADATA (gamelist fields). Useful if, for example, you want to reset the number of times played or the date of the last game.

New method since ARRM 2.0.2.3 Beta 16

Select the desired system and click on the 'Display' button

The gamelist is displayed

Select all or part of the Roms to process

Click on the 'Delete METADATA' button in the 'Possible actions on selected Roms' panel. The deletion of data will be done on the checked items and the selected Roms.

A popup will ask you to choose the Metadata to delete

The Artworks checkbox is only used in the Remove METADATA procedure. If checked, removing METADATA will also remove the links to the Artworks/Images (only the links, not the images)

Wait for the end of the treatment.
