Nope! I prefer my galleries remain unlocked after the unlocking. I DO need to delete several hundred saves en masse from several games. Now I know how because you asked about galleries. Thanks for that. The persistent saves may or may not be retained... depends on if I ever plan to return to that game. I'm in no hurry though. Saved files aren't really that large and won't net me much free space but I find the less old bullshit with which my PC has to deal keeps her running smoother and faster. I'm also hip to skipping unread panel content as well.You do not need to delete all of your saves. If you just want to clear the gallery, then as Razrback16 suggested the solution is to delete the persistent file.
On Windows, Ren'Py stores your saves and the persistent file in two places. You need to delete the persistent file from both (which is probably why PapaPhat had problems with things coming back, only deleting things from one of the two places).
MrMax gave you one of the places (the 'bullshit' is the game id):
%AppData%\RenPy\BrokenDreamers-1521333194\persistent
The other place that Ren'Py stores saves and the persistent file is within the game folder where you installed CoBD:
..\game\saves\persistent
You should be warned that once you delete the persistent file from both places, the game will lose track of your progress through the dialogue too. Effectively it thinks you haven't seen any of it before, so Tab/Ctrl won't fast forward through scenes you've done in the past. To work around that you need to go into the game Options and change Skip to Unseen Text
Thanks, Phat
