Corrupt Files on SD Card
I have a Lexar Media 256 MB SD Card. I used it to store music and text files until one day it started showing corrupt files. Each has an apparently random name, and each claims to be about 2 gigs each (but according to the memory settings, they total only 70MB) so obviously I suspected at first glance something was wrong. How ever, I am unable to delete or move these files in any way.

Other files I add can be normally deleted or moved. Anything I run/open from the SD card runs normally and without problem, so I doubt it's a hardware problem.

Does anyone know to remove the corrupt files or wipe the card?

You can use a utility such as Storage Tools (there is a link to it in my View MyPDA section over to the left. That will allow you to reformat the card.

Just reformat the card, they are plenty of utilities out there which will do just that. You can even go as far as making a low level format before a high level one.

Pocket Mechanics being on of them.
