Windows 10: SD Card Port failing to delete images.

I will be grateful to whoever can help me...I am 81 and struggle a bit with computers...The SD Card port on my laptop is switched to delete the card after uploading it's images. It has always duly deleted but the other day, for no reason I understand, continues to upload the Card images but has stopped deleting the Card! This morning I checked to see if the 'Delete facility' is still switched on and I updated the drivers, using Windows Driver Update which said that all was working well, but alas the images still don't get deleted from the Card after uploading...Please help me - Thank you.

sd card port not working cant upload pics

Hello,

As you are facing issues with accessing SD card on your device, we will help you with this issue.

Provide us additional information to assist you better:

• What is the make and model of your device?
• Have you made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue that might have resulted in this?
• What exactly happens when you try to access the SD card?

This might have occurred due to corrupted/outdated port drivers. As a workaround try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

I suggest you to connect different SB card to the port and check if it is detected. This will let us know if the issue is with SD card or the port.

Also, if you are using SD card reader connected to the port to access SD card try to connect to different ports as well.

Step 1: If the drive is being detected in Device Manager try the below to update the drivers:

• 
  Right click on Start button and select
  Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand the SD card/ USB ports drivers, right click on the drivers and click on
  Update driver software.
  
• 
  Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
  

Step 2: If the device is not detected on your computer try to run Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.

Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

• Press Windows key from the keyboard, type
  Troubleshooting and select it.
• Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
  Troubleshooting window.
• Select the Hardware and Device
  options from the list.
• Click Next to run the Hardware and Device
  Troubleshooter

Unable to view images in SD Card

Original title: 32gb SD Card

Hi Mark,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10 and your steps in trying to solve the issue.

I suggest you to check the size of the SD drive and the size of the image in the SD drive. If there is any change in the size, the images might be hidden. So I suggest you to unhide the hidden files by following the steps below.

• Right click on the Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type/(copy and paste) the command below:

attrib –h –r -s /s /d D:*.* (Replace the Last letter "D" by the drive letter as per the system

assigned for your flash drive)

3. Type Exit and press Enter.

Now open the SD card and check for the status.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to
write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

Hi,

Note: Make sure to back up all the contents of your Micro SD card into another storage before performing the steps below.

• Insert the SD card into an SD card reader and connect it to your computer's USB port.

  Format.
• Click on the drop down menu labeled File System in the new window, select
  NTFS and click the Start button to start the SD card formatting job.
