Windows 10: Corupted file stops Windows from formating a micro SD card

Hello,I've recently found an old micro SD card and tried formating it by using the tool explorer provides, but was dumbfounded when no data was deleted. Thinking that it might be the fault of the crappy adapter i used, i tried to format it on my laptop which has a integreated SD card reader but with no success . Trying to remove the wirte protection or deleting the partetion using diskpart in cmd of course making sure to run it as administrator didn't work either. Absolutley confused i also ran chkdsk e:/f in cmd and retrieved the folowing error:The entry \WhatsApp\Databases\msgstore.db.cryp

Micro SD Card Will Not Format

This may be caused by your SD card Reader. Put the Micro SD card back into your phone or whatever the device it is used in and try Formatting it there.

 

Unable to Format micro SD card

Thanks for all your comments.The card does not have a 'lock'. (To be honest, I've never seen a micro-SD card with a lock feature, only standard SDs.) The adapter I am using does have a lock which is set to off, but I have just considered the possibility that the adaptor is faulty, so I will try a different one when I can find one. However, that fact that the camera suggested there was a fault, seems to indicate that the card is the cause not the adaptor.Denis, the periodic reformatting [in the camera] is due to the cameras inability to filename above "FILE9999". (The camera is an older one that I now use as a security camera that is permanently on. This is obviously another reason that the card may have given up.) When the card reaches its maximum number, the camera stupidly stops saving data rather than reverts back to "FILE0000". The only way to fix this is to in-camera format the card. However, occasionally, (not very often) I have had to format the card (or reset the partition of the card) with the computer. The information I have previously saved on the card suggests that the card size is correct. It's 32GB and I have accessed all 32GB files on the card.From my limited understanding and from those comments here, I guess the card is stuck fast.
