        Hit F4 to enter console and type "df -Bm" (case sensitive).

            Are you sure everything is lowercase EXCEPT for the capital "B"?

            "df" is a stock Raspbian Linux command as far as I know (RetroPie is built on top of Raspbian). If that command isn't working I don't know what to tell you – somebody else with more experience will have to chime in. And you're not typing the quotes " " , right? (sorry, just trying to cover all bases ;)

              You are right it does work seems I could not tell there was a space after the df.

                When you press F4 while in EmulationStation it should drop you into the console and the Welcome screen should show this information. You can prevoke this "welcome screen" by typing retropie_welcome at the console.

                Here's a picture of what it kind of looks like (that I found on Google):

                  Yes I like that thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to turn my 128GB SDcard with the 32GB image back into a 128GB card seems to only see the 32GB. I did already try the extend storage option in the one menu.
