Hello there,
I have a Micro SD card of 8 GB. It has a lot of content which I had stored there. It was about 4 GB. But now it has started giving error messages saying the memory is full. In addition, most of the files are now having "a question mark" instead of the real file icon. When I tried to open it, it tells me that the format is not supported. I am doing all these on my phone. What should I do to avoid losing more data.
Are these problems repairable?
Thank you in advance.

MEMORY CARD ERROR WHEN LOADED
Hi!
You may check your Micro SD Card by using "command prompt" when you are in the CMD. Then, locate the SD Card by using this command "cd+drive", example "cd e:" Note: when your SD are in drive E: only then, issue chkdsk to perform the disk checking. After that, you may now try to open your SD card.

You must need to take the back up of your micro SD card in any computer system.
These question marks are showing that your card is hited by a virus.
Scan your card or format it.
MEMORY CARD ERROR WHEN LOADED
There might have a few problems associated with it:
-
It seems like this is an attack by either Trojans or some other type of viruses. Now, first thing that you should do is to scan the entire SD card thoroughly with an antivirus preferably Kaspersky or Norton. Please don't try free versions because that usually doesn't detect all the viruses. If you are ready, then you should complete the full scanning including the bad sectors, so that all the unwanted viruses are detected and deleted. Now, if you have finished scanning the card, it should come back to its original form as it was earlier.

If the scanning doesn't help, then you can do another thing. Please download a data recovery software from here Download. Download the software which has a good review and maximum downloads. You can preferably download the first one on the list. Do the searching thing by using the keyword data recovery, install it in your computer and follow the procedures instructed by the program or recover data of various formats (jpg, mp3, dat). All sorts of data can be recovered by it. I hope you will get back all the data safely. Since you have previously saved the data and that you have the data, you can randomly copy paste the required data back to your SD card according to your requirements.
I have tried my best to help you out with your problem. If you have any queries or you didn't understand my instructions, please do send your thoughts again and I will try to help as much as possible.
