SD Card

I am having a haunted type moment right now! I have an SD Card that is giving me all sorts of problems. It is completely full and I want to start over and fresh, and install a new program on it but I can't I have tried to delete everything on it manually and that works, but then if I take it out and put it back in, it goes back to before. Next I tried to reformat it, It told me that it was unable to format. Last every time I put the card into a computer It says there are errors and it asks me to scan and repair the card. I let it scan and after a minute it says that it found no errors. 

I need help, what can I do.

I agree. Just get a new card.

If you need the data off of it, that's a different issue. You shouldn't be storing data on SD cards long term anyway, though.

Have you tired formatting it on your computer or oh the phone? Digital cameras also have a format card function that I have found works well when sd cards are misbehaving.

 

But as the others have said, SD cards cost nothing nowadays and if you've spent more than 30 minutes troubleshooting it, it might be worth just replacing it.

When in doubt, re-format.
