Simply put it into a card reader, and into a computer. Then find the drive with the card, right click it and click format.

However, I wouldn't think that you would want to format a memory card. I remember hearing somewhere that it could be bad. However it could have been formatting or defragmenting (i can't remember which, but both seems a little unusual to me to do with a card). I suppose it is safe to use windows to format the card, but an alternative is to plug it into the computer, select everything on it, and just delete it. Then again, thats my opinion.

You can't defragment the card, but you can format it. There's no reason that I would suggest a regular format over a quick format though...

Regular format just does a chkdisk i think, and there is no need for that in a card

There shouldn't be a reason for format the card to be used with the phone. All the cards I've used, I just put in the phone and used without having to do anything to the card.
