        @mitu Do I type sudo after I press f4 and then press sudo Mc? (Terminal is when you press f4 right) I'm doing this on the pi itself since I have a keyboard.

          @namin Just exit Emulationstation via F4, the type sudo mc and press Enter, you'll have the File manager started as administrator. Try first to re-install the retroarchpackage from the RetroPie-Setup script and see if it fixes the problem.

              @namin I would recommend a full re-flash of the image. You are having issues that are not usual or normal. Start again, that should clear it up.

                @jonnykesh I just can't access my files from my COMPUTER. I am trying to delete the retroarch configuration, but I can't access it from winscp or my normal files

                  Dude I got winSCP to work and deleted it, but it still won't work. The start and select buttons don't work and the L and R don't either. I've been trying to get this to work for the past few days. Will reflashing delete any saves I made on a game? This really seems like my last resort.!

                        @namin Downside is I don't like the other controller as much.
