Try to put sd card into a card reader. Can you delete that files on your PC? If not, try check disk (your sd card on PC) and after it finished you will be either able to delete those files or that files will no longer be there. I had that problem and solved it that way.
Plug phone into pc and format that way

It's not necessary to format whole sd card. It's better first to thy what I suggested. It worked for me.

The files are stored on internal storage. You don't need wipe this storage.

You can wipe sdcard storage external from rom or recovery. Usb storage is your internal sdcard.

Just go to settings/storage and check. Usb storage is your internal memory, I think.

here i have a fix for xperia phones that are not allowing the users to use there sd card correctly.for this fix you need to have root
before attempting this i advise you do the following as i hold NO responsibilty
1. backup any files that require modification
2. make a full backup.zip and move this from sd to pc
3.backup all of your apps from internal memory so that after the change you can restore all app data to the "new" internal storage
assuming you have root and follow above
use any root explorer to browse to system/etc
find vold.fstab and rename to .bak
download vold.fstab for your device
transfer to phone (internal or sd)
use root explorer to copy file from (where you placed it ) to system/etc
reboot phone
recover all app data
now sd card should be working fully as internal storage
if you require a fix for the phones not here please send me vold.fstab and i will modify the file
Please note these files for the moment are for stock ICS
changelog
28/11/2012
added xperia j
8/12/2012
replaced xperia go file
21/12/2012
added xperia sx (untested please give feedback)
I think u must change the permission of the copied file to rw-r-r.... Is it not necessary....???
cant use sd card as MSC connectivity... Works only MTP connectivity...???
It is like swapping internal memory to External memory and vice verse rite...??
Sorry for question , but I don't really understand what it need to fix? Could u explain?

when using the sd card on the xpeira go the sd card wont be used for apps as standered all apps and app data are sent to the inernal
memory and not to your sd card this means when you have filled your small internal memory (4gb) no more apps games can be downloaded if you find that this is the case you can use is this to swap your sd card and internal memory around so that if u have a 32gb sd card like i do you can use this to store all the information on your phone (as you hope to be able to do with your sd card )
working???

I agree it works on Xperia Sola. But what happens when I pull out my sd card from phone? One more question - how to return to the state before the change? I suspect that I know how but I prefer to make sure

Hi,
I'm still trying to find a ROM that I can use for my daily usage. My main problem is that almost all the ROMs that I flash fail to detect my ext_sd folder, a.k.a. my external SD card.
When I flash an ICS ROM and go to the file explorer to install titanium backup and restore my apps, it says that this folder is empty.
Sometimes when I restart several times, it finds my SD card, sometimes I have to flash other ROMs to have it but it's OK in some ROMs like CM10 but eventually it losts this folder as well.
Since I'm S-ON, I can't get back to GB ROMs.
SD card may be problamatic but it's OK when I mount it via attaching cable to phone or attaching it directly to my PC with a SD card cartridge.
What could be the problem? How I can check that SD card is OK?
Thanks.
Let me add this that if I open back of my phone and remove and re insert the SD card, it gets detected but it's cumbersome.
Use a root explorer to go up to root and instead of ext sd go into sd card 2 folder. Should be there

I just installed TWRP on my N3, when it first booted up there were some problems that I've come acrossed. First it made some apps not work..then I went into Astro to move the backup I just did to my external SD, It froze on me while moving the file so I restarted the phone. Now I can't even access my external SD card anymore. It just shows up that I don't have a SD card mounted...Any fix for this?
What I have and what I've done to my N3:
8gb SD card from my old S3
Rooted N3 from Chainfire's post and that's it
Installed TWRP
I have the same problem. I have been searching for 3 days for a solution. I am coming from the g note 2 with 64 gig extreme SanDisk sd card. When i put the sd card back in my note 2 it works fine.This sucks, I hope a solution is posted soon.

I remember reading some where that someone suggested backing up your SD card to your PC, formatting the card in the N3, then moving everything back over to it. Hope it helps...
As far as the 64gb cards.
Remove everything from card.
Format as fat 32.
Replace your files.
Viola.

Best bet would be like others suggested, backup the SD to PC, reformat card and try again. [Have you tried other directory explorers ? I use Root Explorer with no issues]
I am using my 64GB card from my E4GT [S2] with no reformatting required and no problems what so ever [so far -- knock on wood]

If nothing can read [detect] the card then it is dead, kill it with fire to make sure the data is 10000000% destroyed :[
The issue is as on now TWRP cannot read exfat. Most SD cards are formatted in exfat by default. You will not be able to reformat the card on windows 7/8 machines in fat32 with out a third party program. Easiest way to reformat your card to fat32 is go to TWRP recovery and choose wipe. It will auto format your card to fat32. "be sure you backed up anything on your card prior to wipe". After you see the card has been wiped go back to install in TWRP and you will be able to choose your sd card.
I own a Sprint Sgs3 rooted. A while back I was running a 4.2 rom, I believe liquid smooth. From that I did a clean install and switched to a 4.3 rom to try it out. When it got to the home screen it said my SD card may be corrupted and asked me to format. I hit yes and nothing seemed to happen but I no longer got the error. I switched back to a 4.2 rom and it says my internal memory is 95% full and my SD card has 16 gb free. Before this happened it was split between the two so internal wasn't nearly as full. How do I get it back like that?
