If your Android device is experiencing issues with a corrupted SD card, there are several steps you can take to fix the problem without losing your valuable data. Here’s a quick guide on what to do:
Backup Your Data
The first and most important step is to make a backup of all the data stored on the corrupted SD card. You can use data recovery software like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to extract and restore your files to a safe location.
Format the SD Card on a Computer
Once you’ve backed up your data, you can try formatting the SD card on a computer. Connect the card to your PC and use the built-in disk management tools or a third-party utility like EaseUS CleanGenius to format the card.
Reinsert the SD Card into Your Android Device
After formatting, reinsert the SD card into your Android device. If the device still doesn’t detect the card, you may need to format it directly on the Android device.
Format the SD Card on Your Android Device
To format the SD card on your Android device, go to the Settings > Storage > SD card menu and select the “Format” option. This will erase all data on the card, so make sure you’ve backed up everything first.
Restore Your Data
Once the SD card is formatted and recognized by your Android device, you can use the data recovery software to restore your backed-up files to the card.
