Cant delete files from my SD card.
4GB Sandisk.
I tried to format.
Card is write protected.
Card switch is not set to LOCK position.
But, I toggled the switch a few times on the card to unlocked, in case it was stuck.

Anyone know what's wrong?
Just a fried card?
Just buy another one for $6?
 
Solution

Ya, sometimes they just screw up, and its not worth the 3 hours of fixing, running to the store is most of the time easier with these SD. Make sure you pick the best answer to close the thread. Users will appreciate it.


Make sure the SD card is not a micro in an adapter. I just had the same problem, put the micro card in with no adapter, deleted as per normal.
 


 


I've same trouble, Just change your adapter. I have to use SanDisk adapter for micro SD San and Kingston for my Micro SD Kingston.
Now all it's OK for me. Maybe that can help you.

 


 


Are you sure do you have the good adapter ?
I got same trouble before because I put my SD Sandisk in Kingston adapter and I fix it when I use Sandisk adapter with SD Sandisk card.
Hope with helpful.
Jean.
 


Thanks JS10013. Tried the tape trick and it did the trick.
