As you can see, this repo holds useless files including:

GBA rom, which causes legal problem
deleted preview audios and videos, which increases repo size and makes it hard to clone

Therefore I suggest to clean it.

I already removed the rom.

You didn't remove it from version control so it is still in Git.

And the music preview files are staying... sort of the whole point of including them by splitting the music repo into its own thing.

I never suggest to remove preview files in this issue.

Also considering you're working off some old build of this repo, you might want to update.

I did fork the repo but for my own purpose, not for pr. I forked from the latest build but altered the history to remove those useless files from control version by myself later so you see xxx commits ahead and xxx commits behind but it is not from old builds.

We haven't had .wav files here for weeks.

They are still in the git repo because you didn't remove them from version control, so they still take the repo space.

I suggested to remove the files which you thought you deleted them but they are still there because Git is a version control system instead of a Cloud Drive.

The reasons:

It violates GitHub's policy to store copyrighted content like a game ROM in Git version control.
It makes the repo huge to store those files which you thought you removed from Git but they were still in the version control.

I didn't suggest to remove preview files which you didn't want to remove.

That's only my suggestion. I don't care whether it is accepted or not. I only clarify it to avoid any misunderstandings.
