      Hi, I have had issues accessing config files on my pi, as it said it has run out of space.
      I checked using "df -h", and apparently the boot section has used 100%, or 256MB/256MB.
      I tried expanding the filesystem using raspi-config, but nothing has happened.
      There is definitely room left on the SSD as a whole, as it is 250GB, but my boot folder is just not using up enough space.
      Any help would be appreciated

        Please add some info about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

        The boot partition cannot be extended, since there's no free space after it. However, 256Mb should be enough space for what is used - keeping the Linux kernel, the boot loader configuration and the additional overlays. Are you using it for something else ?
