Hi there, I’ve assemble my Clockwork Pi yesterday and I’m pretty sure I’ve already broke something in the retroarch settings. 😃 I was following the **RetroArch Megathread** from @fr500 and I’ve entered “sudo apt-get install git build-essential” in PuTTY, saying “Y” to something and yeah… I’ve closed the windows after some time without seeing that the install wasnt finished yet. So my question is : is there a way to clean everything up on the clockwork pi and start from a clean base ? 🙂 Thaaaaanks Oh btw I’m really new in this kind of things so if you have a very simple solution it would be perfect. Thanks again everyone and have a good day ! Ps : I’m doing my best with writting in english so I’m sorry if my english is kind of… weird ? ---
