      i have tryed to search by google and also using the search feature here.

      Problably this is a stupid question but it's better to ask :)

      It's exist a way to safe remove usb pendrive (how i stored all my roms) from my Pi4 whit shoutdown all entire system ?

      It's safe to do this ??

        You can exit EmulationStation and then, from the command line, run

        sudo umount /media/usb0
        

        If your USB drive is mounted on another folder than /media/usb0, substitute /media/usb0 with the proper folder name.

          It's apparently the best solution... what i have do:
          F4 to exit from ES.
          mount (to found corrent usb)
          used sudo umount
          copyed all my news roms from pc and now also the image snap and some gamelist.xml from my personal system
          type exit from console to restart es and....

          all now works whitout any issue.

          Thanks for all.
