      Steven Selph's scraper- Yes

      gameslist.xml located in File Manager- Retropie- roms-psx "I deleted the file from here" and rescrapping does not repopulate them

      I ran scrapper from setups interface

          @Pie-Guy By default, the scraper will create a gamelist.xml in the Emulationstation config folder (~/.emulationstation/gamelists/psx), but if you're at 100% disk capacity, it might not be able to write it.

              @Pie-Guy Let me guess, you followed some advice to install the lightdm package to solve the auto-login problem ?

                  I just selected update current packages vs install... it looks like I just did a standard update... its not that big of a deal... just a difference that I noticed

                  Before I start deleting games... is there some game systems that have notably bigger files than others? I can start with those...

                  Anyways, I really appreciate the help here... means alot

                    The CD based games ? PS1/Sega CD/PCEngine CD. Copy/backup them to your PC.

                      So, I freed up 5g worth of space... tried to rescrape and it did not add a gameslist.xml file back in the rom folder

                      retropie/rom/psx it is still deleted... I have now deleted 8 games to the one psx game that i installed so that there is way less space then prior to install of the new psx game..

                      Do I need more than 5g of free space?

                      Or do I need to manually enter a gameslist.xml file back into that folder?
