Now after the PDA reformatted the card theres this one file that i cant erase. Its labelled: ignore_my_docs. I keep tyring to erase it but it just comes back and its taking away about 10mb of space on the card. Does anyone know why the pocket pc keeps needing to reformat the card or what this file is and why it wont go away?

what garryknight said (except that answers here come very quickly) and:
ignore_my_docs uses virtually no memory. far less than one kilobyte. i think what you are seeing is the fact that all memory cards come with less memory than "advertised."
for example: 256MB, according to memory companies, is 256,000,000 bytes. however, 256MB is actually 268,435,456 bytes.
none of this would indicate any kind of problem with your memory card.
if your memory gauge shows 10MB used, however (as opposed to, say, 120MB available, 0 used), then you have a problem with your card, because ignore_my_docs does not use anything close to 10MB. you will have to check up on SD problem threads and probably your card should be replaced.
