Formatting the microSD Card

Formatting a microSD card permanently removes all files stored on the card.

1. From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key > Settings > Storage.

2. Tap Unmount SD card, then tap OK to confirm and release the microSD card from device use. The icon appears within the Notifications panel to indicate an unmounted microSD card.

3. Once released, touch Erase SD card (twice) > Erase everything.

   • Once completely formatted, the card is automatically re-mounted (reconnected for use by the device).

   NOTE

   The formatting procedure erases all of the data on the microSD card, after which the files CANNOT be retrieved. To prevent the loss of important data, please check the contents before you format the card.
