      Hello- I apologize if these topics have been addressed here, but I a newb to RetroPie and am in need of assistance. I recently performed an overall update to my RetroPie system on my Pi 3 B, and now I can no longer retain the favorites menu or any saved game meta data. I am attaching photos of the “Error parsing XML” notices I get at shut down, as well as the update failed notice I get when trying to update my setup script.
      Again, I am new to this and still learning... but any assistance in fixing this is greatly!

        @rontra74 You might be out of disk space on the sd-card. You might need to delete some files or get a bigger SD card. Try running df -h and see where you are at.

          https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-firstare you using a NESpi case with XBox wireless remotes? If yes then your log files are spilling over and you run out of space

            Thank you both for the help. It looks like it is an SD card space issue. I was able to pull up:

              Indeed it does. :) One quick way to make some space is to invoke the pre-installed file manager Midnight Commander by entering the command mc in the console. It is rather self-explanatory. With it, you could delete some files you don't need to make the system at least usable again.
