Although over the years the mobiles are increasingly equipping internal storage capacity, the use of microSD cards is the order of the day . There are many new users who decide to buy a microSD card, but when they start it they get lost. In case any need arises, we show you a tutorial on how to format the microSD card from the Android mobile .
Memory cards usually come with some kind of factory file system, others can come without formatting, everything depends on the manufacturer and where we buy them from. A first recommended step once we introduce the microSD card in the mobile for the first time is to format it.
The first thing we must be clear about is the meaning of "formatting the microSD card" , which consists in erasing all the data from the card and establishing a file system . After reading this, it should be clear to us that if we have important files on the card we should make a copy before formatting . If you do not have any device to make the backup, you can use tools like Google Drive or DropBox to backup the important files.
Next, we go to the general settings of the device, where we search and access the option called "Storage" . In this section we are shown information regarding all the storage of the device, but we should look for the one that refers to the SD card.
Once we have found the option we can select the option to format the SD card and it will erase all the files that have been stored in the card . So simple is to format the microSD card from the Android phone , which as we have been able to verify, no extra application is needed.
