HOW TO FORMAT AN SD CARD ON ANDROID

Format on Android:

*
  * *Insert your MicroSD card*. For phones the MicroSD port is typically behind the battery. You will need to open the back panel and remove the battery to access the slot. The card should slide in and click into place. Do not force the card.

  * Tablets typically have SD card readers on the side of the tablet. Refer to your product’s documentation to find the exact location.
  * 2*Open the device’s Storage Settings*. After inserting the SD card, open the Settings by tapping the Menu button while viewing the Home screen, or by opening the Settings app from the App Drawer. Select Storage from the Settings menu, under the Device heading.

  * 3*Unmount the SD card*. Tap "Unmount SD card" option.

  * 4*Format the SD card*. In the Storage submenu, scroll down to the SD card section. Tap “Format SD card” to begin the format process. Tap the button again to continue. If your SD card is locked, you will need to enter your SD card PIN. Once you do, the format will proceed.

  * All of your data will be lost. Be sure that you have backed up any important files from the SD card before formatting.
