What to do with a corrupt MicroSD card?


Recommended Posts

A few days ago I noticed that some strangely named folders had appeared on my MicroSD card (pic attached), and though I'd look into it eventually.

Today my phone has problems running most programs, and I'm pretty sure that the card is now corrupt (I can't find the "Program files" folder, and I can't copy files from it using a card-reader).

Any suggestions for some good, preferably free, data recovery software?

I think I might have to reformat and start again, but would rather not if there is another option.

Try defragmenting it this wrk once for me.

It was too far gone for a defrag, fortunatly I realised everything on it was either replaceable or re-instal-able, so I've formated and started again.
