I am completely new to RPI and I just purchased a PI4 for gaming usage, planning to use for GBA, PS1,2,3,PSP games.
Here is my DF -H, how do I get that extra 26GB from /dev/mmcblk0p9?? As I do not have enough space for my games. The retropie folder is in the /dev/root directory while there is a 26GB in /dev/mmcblk0p9. Pls Help, Thank You.

Code: Select all

DF -H
will not provide anything useful.

Code: Select all

df -h
might.

Did you use NoobS / PiNN to install Operating System ?

Maybe scrap what you have and just install Lakka which fully supports the 4B:

Did you use NOOBS to install 2 OS?
df -h will only show mounted partitions of the currently running OS. Partitions from other installed OS will not be shown.

True. 'lsblk' should show all disks/partitions and sizes though
