Format a Micro SD Memory Card
The microSD card is a variant of the regular SD card designed to work with smaller electronics like cellphones. While the microSD card has all the same features and capabilities of a regular SD card, it's only a fraction of the size, meaning most people need a microSD-to-SD adapter to insert it into any traditional SD card slot. Formatting your microSD card restores it to the factory settings, clearing all data and leaving you with a clean slate.
Instructions
1. Insert the microSD card into the SD card adapter and slide that into your computer's SD card slot. If your computer lacks an SD input, you need an SD card-to-USB-adapter as well.
2. Click the Start button on the Desktop taskbar and select "Computer" or "My Computer" (varies slightly depending on your version of Windows).
3. Locate the microSD card on the list provided and right-click it.
4. Select "Format...", change any necessary settings, and click "Start". Certain versions of Windows may require you to first select "Properties" and choose to format from there.
