Few days back, I was searching for my files in my file manager and noticed that my sd card wasn't recognized by my phone. I tried to remove it and inserted it again and nothing happened. I tried lots of applications to fix it but there's no result. It doesn't say anything like "the sd card is damaged" nor "sd card is unexpectedly removed". Please help me to fix it without deleting all my files. I have a lot of important files in there. Pls help!

Hey there, Shanen_1.

You should always dismount the SD card before you remove it if you have that option. I'd recommend that you try the SD card with a computer, to see if it's properly recognized. If it's not you could give it a try with data recovery software, to see if you'd be able to recover your information: https://www.lifewire.com/free-data-recovery-software-tools-2622893. You could also try accessing it via Ubuntu Live USB/DVD, to see if that OS is capable of recognizing the flash drive's partition properly so that you can get to your data.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
