/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg is probably set to pick up the controllers automatically.

This line decides that:
input_autodetect_enable = true

This will read the relevant file in: joypad_autoconfig_dir
This is usually:
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/

So if you feel you dont need any of the config in the dir above, you could stop retroarch reading it by changing the value to false.

You can tell if its reading the auto files as yellow text appears at the bottom of the screen when you start a game showing the path.
