I was missing some roms from my NES collection so I started adding them by dragging and dropping the missing rom files onto the "Scan Results" window to be rebuilt into my set.  Well I guess I accidently dragged and dropped the wrong file that wasn't actually missing onto that window and I got this message in the "Scan Results" window:

Set exists in various rompaths: D:\No-Intro\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System\Sunday Funday - The Ride (USA) (Unl).7z; D:\No-Intro\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System\Sunday Funday - The Ride (USA) (Unl).zip
Set exists in various rompaths: D:\No-Intro\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System\Menace Beach (USA) (Unl).7z; D:\No-Intro\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System\Menace Beach (USA) (Unl).zip
Set exists in various rompaths: D:\No-Intro\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System\Free Fall (USA) (Proto).7z; D:\No-Intro\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System\Free Fall (USA) (Proto).zip

So I'm guess that that one rom file I tried to add somehow matched all 3 of those roms listed above?  I'm not really sure.  All I know is that now I can't make that message go away.  I am now not missing any roms, but every time I do a scan I still get that message listed above.  I even tried doing a new scan and checked fix for everything hoping that it would correct whatever was wrong but the message still shows up.  What exactly does that message mean and how do I fix it?  I'm thinking rebuilding from that folder into a new folder would do the trick but I really don't want to have to do that.  Thank you.

...and you have them in different archive types (7z and zip).

So you can simply move them manually out of the rompaths and use a well configured rebuilder to readd them
...or keep one instance alive and kill the other

Now I understand what it is saying.  I didn't notice the same roms with the different file extensions.  My set is in. 7z but the missing roms I found were in .zip.  I thought that I could just drag the .zip file into the scan results window and it would rebuild them into the set as .7z.  I guess I should have used the rebuilder tab instead.  So I guess I can just find the 3 zip files and delete them and everything should be fine, right? Or is it not quite that simple?

If you drag'n drop files, the rebuilder is used internally and of course the current settings of the rebuilder are used.....so if you prefer 7z you should switch it in the rebuilder options

That's what I did wrong.  For the complete set i used the main NES No-Intro datfile and rebuilt that into 7-zip.  The parent/clone datfile i used to rebuild that complete set onto USB drive and never changed the rebuild options.  I know what I need to do now.  Thanks again for the help.
