        @cheno Change back the permissions on the config folder with the command

        sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs
        

        You can execute this from the command prompt you get when you exit Emulationstation, or by connecting via SSH to your Pi system (assuming it's a Raspberry PI and it's connected via the network).
