      Hey , so i got the pi3b+ with Retropie 4.5.1.
      and i got a big sd card 256gb.
      But i fell it up so much , that now i only got 400mb' left.

        I'd say no, since if you drop below 5% you might have problems writing on it - the root user has usually reserved that space just in case rogue users/processes would fill the whole space.

        does it matter ?

        Yes, see above.

                Let's say 1 Gb.

                95% opacity ?

                Don't understand this.
