Cannot Delete Files from SD Card – Fix It with 6 Simple Ways
Geeks - If you are unable to delete files from your SD card, here are a few potential fixes you can try:
Make sure that the SD card is not write-protected. Some SD cards have a physical switch that enables or disables write access.
Try using a different SD card reader. If the issue is with the card reader, using a different one may fix the problem.
Format the SD card. This will erase all the data on the card, but it may also fix any issues with the card's file system. Be sure to back up any important data on the card before formatting it.
Use a disk utility program to repair the SD card's file system. This can fix any issues with the card's structure that may be causing the inability to delete files.
Check the SD card for errors. Using a utility program to check the SD card for errors and fix any that are found can often resolve the issue of being unable to delete files.
If all else fails, try using a different SD card. If the issue is with the card itself, using a different one may fix the problem.
It's also worth noting that some file types, such as those used by certain camera or video recording applications, may be unable to be deleted from an SD card. In these cases, you may need to use the software that created the files to delete them.
