How to format an sd card on steam deck

To format an SD card on a Steam Deck, you'll need to follow these steps:

Note: Before formatting your SD card, make sure you have backed up any important data on the card, as formatting will erase all data on the card.

Step 1: Insert the SD card

Insert the SD card into the Steam Deck's microSD card slot, located on the top of the device.

Step 2: Go to Settings

From the Steam Deck's home screen, navigate to the Settings menu by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner.

Step 3: Select Storage

In the Settings menu, select "Storage" from the list of options.

Step 4: Select the SD card

In the Storage menu, select the SD card from the list of available storage devices. You may need to scroll down to find it.

Step 5: Format the SD card

Select the "Format" option next to the SD card. This will bring up a confirmation prompt. Click "Format" to begin the formatting process.

Step 6: Confirm the format

You will be prompted to confirm that you want to format the SD card. Click "Format" again to confirm.

Step 7: Wait for the formatting process to complete

The Steam Deck will now format the SD card. This process may take a few minutes to complete, depending on the size of the card and the amount of data being erased.

Step 8: Verify the format

Once the formatting process is complete, you can verify that the SD card has been formatted by checking the Storage menu again. The SD card should now be listed as "Unformatted" or "Empty".

That's it! Your SD card should now be formatted and ready to use on your Steam Deck.
