Uninstall modules in hakchi 2 does NOT delete all retroarch files

Open rsn8887 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

It seems to be possible to have leftover files even after using the uninstall module option in Hakchi 2.

I uninstalled an old version of Retroarch, and re-installed the new version using Hakchi 2.

The uninstall did not delete several files, for example retroarch.cfg, and the old overlays. Then the re-install did not overwrite these files either, causing me to be stuck with leftover old files.

I manually deleted the libretro directory using FTP, and then the install correctly installed all the new versions of the files.

I noticed that, when uninstalling cheats. the directory and a few files were still there after uninstall. strange.

Has this issue been fixed? How do I access the old files to check if it's still happening and delete them.

In Hakchi, there's a menu option to start the ftp server. It tells you the ftp address. Once you started the ftp server and while your Mini console is connected via USB, you can use Filezilla Client to connect to it and change files.
