Reformatting a memory card will completely clear all existing data from the card. Please copy all important data from the card prior to reformatting.

WARNING: Data previously stored on a reformatted memory card may be recovered by software designed for the purpose. Do not trust reformatting to permanently destroy data.

[edit] Using the File manager

  1. Disable virtual memory if it is being used on the card.
  2. Launch the File manager.
  3. Select the memory card to be reformatted.
  4. Open the File manager's menu.
  5. Open the "Tools" sub-menu.
  6. Select "Format memory card..."
  7. Tap the "OK" button.
