No space left in device, but there is space left
-
Hi all, I was transferring roms from a USB stick to the retropie, and because there were too many files, my disk was full during the transfer. I remove some roms with the filemanager but the problem remains. Now, I can not update because there is a message hat the disk is full all the time, or create tmp file. I tried to resize the partition again, just in case of, but it seems that there are some files from the old transfer still around.

Your disk is at 100% capacity - it says so in the screenshot. Some of the disc space on the partition is reserved for the system/
root
user, so that the system can function even when an user inadvertently fills up the/
partition.
Free up some space on your card and to be get back to normal operations. -
Thank you, before, I deleted like 6 GB and it was not enough. I continue deleting like 4 GB more, and then I had 2 GB free, so like 8 GB are part of the system.

You can lower reserved space. But I would leave some free.
