Research direction
Start by locating the code paths for removing screenshots and removing games from the playlist, then trace how their thumbnail files are currently handled. Check the project's existing filesystem conventions and platform-specific behavior before defining the change. Done means both removal actions can delete their associated files from the hard drive without affecting unrelated data.
