SD Card Cleaner for PC Users - Download

Why need to clean up your SD card?

SD card is a storage device that is often used in people's life. However, with the accumulation of use time, the SD card stores many unnecessary or outdated junk files. If these files are not cleaned up for a long time, it may lead to the SD card becoming full, and in severe cases, the SD card may even have errors and cannot be used normally.

Using Disk Management to clean up SD card on Windows PC

In order to make the SD card run properly, we need to regularly clean up the junk files in the SD card. In Windows system, we can use some built-in tools including File Explorer, Disk Management and Diskpart to format SD card. Here we will introduce how to clean SD cards with Disk Management.

Notes: 
✎ Please save data before formatting your SD card because formatting means cleaning up all data of the target partition.
✎ When the partition size of the target SD card is larger than 32GB, the SD card is write-protected or there're bad sectors on it, the "Format" option will be greyed out.

Step 1. Press the "Windows" and "R" keys at the same time and enter "diskmgmt.msc" in the small pop-up window to open Disk Management.

Step 2. Right-click the SD card, click "Format".

Step 3. Select "FAT32" in the menu and click "Quick Format", then click "OK" to start formatting the SD card.
