        You could move the 'downloaded_images' folder to wherever you want on your USB drive and then symlink to the original location with:

        ln -s /new/usb/path/to/downloaded_images /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/

            Finally got around to doing this! To make it work I had to do the same command for the gamelist folder to. Works perfect now.
