How to format a memory card on your Galaxy device?
Using an SD card is a great way to expand and manage your storage. It's cost-effective, frees up internal memory, and is easily removable. Formatting an SD card may also help if you're having persistent issues setting up or using your external memory, however, it will permanently wipe any data that you have stored on it.
