      Moderation note: @debric I merged your topics, there's no need to open a new topic for the same problem. Please try to respect the forum rules and don't spam the forum with the same topic.

      To answer your questions:

      • Linux reserves 5% of the / partition to the rootuser, so that space it's not available to the regular pi user. As I said earlier - delete some of your bigger ROMs to gain space.
      • The correct command to start the RetroPie setup script is:
      sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
      

      and it's case-sensitive.

      And lastly, you still haven't provided the info asked in: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

          @mitu This smells like a third party image we can not provide further help.

          @debric Please use the original image that you can download here then we can assure you have the latest updates with a fine setup and then we surly can provide help as fast as possible.

              @debric No ... this will just update the packages. No gamedata will be touched but it would be better to get more free space.

                  Yes.

                  @debric how did you installed the image ? Did you buy the kit altogether with the Pi or you installed it yourself ?

                      @debric 8bit games do not need so much space. The PSX and PSP are real space eaters. Better to reduce some of these but as I already said you are using a third party image and will surly come back with some questions regarding RetroPie.

                      Imho a better setup (real world) would be...
                      Use a 4GB card to just run the system ... this will help you much if you need backups.
                      For the ROMs you need a seperate USB storage device.... 64GB, 128GB and then you can access all files from your MAC.

                      @debric Don't take the question where you got the stuff as an offence towards you but it is not a nice move to see people making money from a project that started as a curious fun hobby. But other distros like Batocera, Recalbox, Lakka suffer from the same :(

                        @debric We don't support 3rd party images, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

                        Moreover, the RetroPie image license doesn't allow commercial usage - so you bought the kit from a scammer, which sold it to you illegally, without mentioning the ROMs included, for which he/she didn't have a license.

                        If you wish to get support - please install the image from retropie.org.uk/download and follow the Docs to get it installed and configured.

                            @debric Usually just one way. ROMs on SD or ROMs on USB

                                          Victory ! I succed , this can help other users, we never know....ifact I wrote what @mitu told me sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh. So I arrived in the grey window Retropie script with different choices. I ran Update Retropie set up script and it works before I checked I was on Version 4.' now is 4.4.12. I am sure the fact of deleting some games helped.my big mistake was to instal all packages on a 32G Gard ( to small)
                                          Anyway Thank you so much all.
                                          As soon as I receive my 128Go card I will do a copy via applePi-baker
                                          Have a nice WE
