Can I regain use of my SD card?
I have a 64 GB SD Card which is about 50% free. It has been used as an additional backup for files, no longer required. I want to use it in my new Android MiNote 7 phone, to replace a 1 GB card which will soon be full. But I am now unable to either delete the Windows files, or to format the card. I have tried many times, using my PC and an Android Tablet. I have tried both quick and full format. Some apps seem to go through the delete and format procedures and report 'done' but the files are still in place (especially annoying in the case of a full format).
The phone can read and open files (not much use) but in addition to not being able to delete them they cannot be moved or cut and pasted. Is there any way I might be able to format the card, other than the usual procedures in Windows or Android? It would be wasteful to just bin a card with 64 GB.
