      Pi Model or other hardware: pi 4 model b
      Power Supply used: one supplied by the canakit
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.6
      Built From: image provided on download page
      USB Devices connected: 128gb flash drive formatted to ntfs and an xbox controller
      Controller used: xbox
      Error messages received: no space left on device
      Verbose log (if relevant): not sure how to get
      File: doesn't seem to be a specific file
      Emulator: most emulators can run but not save, some like NES and sega master system, and neo geo will attempt to launch but then go back to the game list after saying no space left on device
      How to replicate the problem: after several fresh installs and expanding the sd card it seems to happen whenever the roms flashdrive is plugged in and configured, it will go from 2.3gb/29gb used to 29gb/29gb used. in the file manager it only shows that 551mb/29gb are used.

        OK I got it fixed, it was copying the games to the SD card and not running them.
