Library Carry Over

So, two hundred and some hours into Roll20, I'm feeling confident enough with everything to start another game. However, it appears my entire library of tokens, images, etc. automatically appears in the new game and if I delete something from one, it disappears from the other? Is this correct? While it might be a nice feature if I were playing only one system, but the two games are completely different systems and therefore there is little useful crossover. I used the Transmorgrifier to move the character sheet I tied all the basic macros to, but I did not move the images, etc. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

What you have uploaded to your Art Library is a unified collection that you can access from any game you create, and is not tied to individual campaigns, so don't delete anything from it unless you're fine that it disappears for all of your campaigns. The Journal-tab is meant to manage campaign-specific content, but they may still rely on things existing in your Art Library. We could compare it to an email account, you can access it on any computer you want and copy text or things from your email to the comupter, but if you delete any of your email, that email is gone no matter which computer you use.

bear in mind this has the advantage that you only have to upload soome art once to use it in all your campaigns. If they were completely separate collections, you'd need to upload the same art multiple times if you ever wanted to use it in another campign, so its much better that it works this way.
The best option is to organize your art into folders. For your use I would suggest that the top layer folders reflect game system or genre.
Thanks for the replies. I just would have preferred the option to use the Transmorg to pull things I wanted from one game to another. I'm going to be hours reorganizing things into the proper folders now to keep the two games separate.
You could just make a copy of the old game then delete what you don't want out of the journal/maps/etc.

The current library set up is better for the userbase as a whole. But I agree, the organisation of the library sucks. It is painful to organise.
