Does anyone know if (and how) the XDA can format an SD or MMC card.

I deleted some 240MB of music from my SD storage card yesterday. The files are gone but there is still no free space on the card.

I guess quirks like this can happen with removable media, but I still would like to use that memory card again.

I just did this yesterday using the (trial) version of Flashformat. Worked very well. Good luck!

You can also check out Storage Tools, nice thing about this is it also can defragment your storage cards. Does not run under WM2003 though.

You can use a scan disk cruser, mobile usb card reader. That way you can plug it in an usb port of your desktop and format as if were an removable disk...

Try doing an sd backup to the card, sometimes works.

Storage Tools 1.7 is OK with WM 2003.
