How to format SD card

Hello...
i go to Settings -> Storage... and i unmount de sd card.
Then it activates the option to delete sd card. It isnt any option called format SD or something like that.
I have backup all my files to my pc hard drive ( cut & paste). So my sd card is empty. To delete the sd card ( 8 gb capacity) it takes 2-3 seconds.
Its that ok ?
Would you recommend me to format the sd card ? If so how ?
Thanks in advance
It's ok to format your card. Try to put it into an adapter an connect that to your pc, and format it from Windows (FAT32 is ok).
After that it should function as new....!
Good luck, greetz,

connect your phone with the usb to the computer. Mount the SD card and after that you should see your SD drive in the computer (under my computer). Right click on the icon of the SD drive and then click format and click quick format.
Thanks... but you are telling me how to format the sd card in the pc... thats right...
My first doubt was if i had already formatted the sd card or if its a bug or a translation mistake in ginger bread.
When i unmount the sd card it lit the option "Borrar tarjeta almacenamiento" ( Delete sd card in english), and it doesnt appear any "Formatear tarjeta" ( format sd card in english).
Everybody has the same ? Or do you have the two options to delete and format the sd card ?
Thanks again.
There is only one option. That is to format the SD Card. I think its a translation mistake. Make a backup of your SD Card and then use the delete/format option.

File Manager says SD Card?

Hi all,
My prime says SD card when I use the native file manager, but I don't have a Micro SD installed.
What's up with that?
And what happens when I do install an SD card? (being delivered)
Will the files be moved over? Will there be two SD card listings?
Thanks,
it's a virtual sd card
when a real sd is connected it will be under
/sdcard/Removable/sd

microSD CARD partitioning causes problems?!!

I have used partitions on my old rooted phone where I thought the sd card had crashed because of partitioning it. Now I have removed the partition and I am still getting problems. Then I formatted my whole micro sd card using windows. Whenever I insert my sd card into windows via my phone, it asks me to format it.
Why has micro sd partitioning wrecked my sd card???!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am also getting the bad zip file error on android! I am beginning to believe that partitioning has destroyed my sd card permanently!
