So recently I remade my emunand because I was having troubling with a game not working and tried every possible combination and couldn’t get it too work... so as a last resort I remade my Emunand figured starting fresh would fix it and it did. However, it seems like it didnt delete all the games I had before because now the filesize of my emuMMC folder is over 194gb, all the data is coming from root>emummc>raw1>nintendo>contents>registered directory, which im guessing is all the games, but im pretty sure theres important stuff in it i also dont want to delete right? :unsure: I have a 400gb sd card.

TL;DR remade my emunand, but my emummc has almost 200gb of dead games, how can i clear it up without deleting anything important?

No, there's no important stuff in the Nintendo folder besides games and Album. Back up the Album folder and you can delete the whole Nintendo folder, then start reinstalling your games.

Data Management in emuMMC shows you your games from the emuMMC. Not from the sysMMC.
When he re-created emuMMC, it copied the content from sysNAND including any game installs from sysNAND. Which explains why he isn't seeing any of the game installs that he originally had on his previous emuNAND in data management. He knows that emuNAND data management is separate from sysNAND, but not at this very moment since it was freshly created.

Getting back those game installs is the next goal, or deleting the nintendo folder in the emummc folder and reinstalling everything from scratch. This is the advice that's needed.

cut emunand's size with nxnandmanager software on ur desktop. after resize your emunand and save as a clean trimmed emunand. It is very convenient to restore it when you need.

You make a backup of your emuMMC with Hekate.
