Micro SD cards are used in everything from cameras, to cellular phones to gaming devices. They store data in a small and compact format for later retrieval. They are also reusable, meaning that the entire device can be repurposed, and all information can be removed from them to clear up space. Remove the SD card from the device you were using it in, and plug it into the Micro SD adapter. Connect the micro SD adapter to the computer via a USB port. You computer will recognize it instantly. Open the “my computer” tab in the start menu. Your SD card will be available via the screen as the “F:” drive. Right click on the “F:” drive icon and a menu will pop up. Scroll to the “format” command in the menu. A progress bar will appear on screen as the card formats. Once the progress bar is complete, a prompt will inform you that the SD card has been formatted and you may remove it. You are done once the prompt appears. The card will be formatted and ready to use again.
