I've developed a problem where the power has gone out while I'm in the middle of using lsnes a number of times. When loading back up lsnes, there are errors in retrieving the list of projects. The current project I was working on has become corrupt, but all others are fine.
I would like to remove projects from lsnes to avoid these, but I can't find its location. My best effort shows that it is in the registry...but I can't decipher what I'm looking at.
Has a tool been written to help manipulate project entries?

1) Go to lsnes config folder. In Linux, it's at ~/.config/lsnes/ . On Windows, I guess it's at C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\lsnes\ .
2) Search for file recent-projects.txt. There you can see the projects that appear in the menu and their location. eg {"display":"Super Mario World - Casual Gameplay","filename":"/home/rod/.config/lsnes/1516241292_dce9.prj","id":"1516241292_dce9"}
3) Open the file prj file (a plain text) to see some details, like the branches and where the lss movie files are saved. Search for prj.bak files too, just in case. eg:
Super Mario World - Casual Gameplay
rom=
last-save=/home/rod/emu/SNES/Super Mario World/Casual/smw-casual-15--34.lss
directory=/home/rod/emu/SNES/Super Mario World/Casual
prefix=smw-casual
luascript=/home/rod/git/smw-tas/smw-tas.lua
gametype=snes_ntsc
coreversion=bsnes v085 (Compatibility core)
projectid=bd03bf75509708d32ea62dfe6ae6c174d66ff828

romrom=/home/rod/emu/SNES/Super Mario World/Super Mario World (USA).sfc

branch1name=Yoshi Island 2
branch2parent=11
Project files aren't in the registry.
They are the .prj files in the lsnes config folder (on Windows, that should be %appdata%/lsnes). Those are the project files lsnes tries to enumerate. They're just text files so you can open them to check their name and main directory.
So just delete the ones you don't want (and you might want to delete their main directory as well).

Thank you Amaraticando! That helped!
Nach, I suppose your idea will work now...seeing that I lost power because someone in this house accidentally flipped a switch on the control panel. :(

You never know when you might lose power. Over the years I've had nutjob neighbors who knocked out the power in all sorts of crazy ways.
Then you could have kids who somehow thought it was smart to have every appliance in the kitchen and wash room going at the exact same time.
The list goes on. If you're doing serious computer work, get yourself a decent UPS.
