      Hey folks, how do I delete everything RetroPie has installed? The CPU usage spiked and the machine ran real hot and the installation had taken almost 1 GB of disk space so I interrupted it. I then deleted the folders in the home directory but the space was not reclaimed. Moreover, I think the machine still runs kind of hot after a restart, like something's running in the background.

        Which folders did you delete ?

        RetroPie installs everything under /opt/retropie, you can check its size and maybe delete it if you wish.
