What to do when your SanDisk SD card will not wipe or format... Data Recovery Ireland


A customer recently contacted us saying they did not need data recovery from their 64GB SanDisk SD card but they in fact needed to wipe it. They had already transferred their photos and videos to the computer and verified that the transfer had been successful. With the shops being shut, they wanted to re-use this 64GB card but formatting or wiping it was proving nigh impossible. They tried using “diskutil” on their MacBook but to no avail. They even tried “diskpart” on their Windows laptop but that too proved unsuccessful. Thankfully there is a nice tool from the SD Card Association which solves this seemingly intractable and common problem. This tool formats SD cards with ease and removes the need to perform command line gymnastics using Diskutil or Diskpart.
