    Failure to permanently erase a microSD card


    It is very strange that I erased a microSD card and the contents are restored automatically later. When I insert it into a USB socket, it says the drive needs repair but the repair not successful. Is there any way to do it instead?

    :)

    Formatting MicroSD cards permanently problem

    Hi Amir,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand that this caused you inconvenience and appreciate your time and effort to format Micro SD Card.

    Suggest you to try formatting the Micro SD card using Disk Part commands.

    1. In the search box on the taskbar, type
      Command prompt and right click on Command prompt
      open as Admin.
    2. Connect the drive you want clean and format on your computer.
    3. Type the command and press
      Enter: diskpart
    4. Type the command to list all the available drives and press
      Enter: list disk
    5. Select the drive you want to clean. (If you fail to choose the correct number will erase all the data from the wrong drive)
    6. Use the following command to select the drive and press
      Enter: select disk #(F)
    7. Type the following command to clean the drive and press
      Enter: clean
    8. Type in the following command
      format F: /fs:ntfs

    You will receive a message stating that “DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk”

    Music Sync with microsd card

    Hello -



    I am having all kinds of problems using my microsd card to sync music. I have a Lumia 822. I can sync music to my phone without issue. But, if I try to sync music to my microsd card, I get duplicate listings of songs. And, every time I try to re-sync,
    the song is listed again. This doesn't happen for every song, but for many. I have tried two different microsd cards - one is 32g and the other 64. Same problem for both. Any suggestions?



    TIA
