To do this, click on the magnifying glass in the top-right corner of your computer screen. Type “disk utility” in the search box that opens, then click on the “Disk Utility” Application that comes up. Find the SD card in the left side of the window. It’ll be named something like NO NAME or UNTITLED. Click the ERASE tab in the middle of the window. Next, click on the Format dropdown menu. Select MS-DOS (FAT) if the card is 32 GB or smaller.

If it’s a 64GB card, please select ExFAT. A message will appear asking, “ Are you sure you want to erase the partition “YOUR SD CARD NAME?” Click Erase. The computer will delete the contents of your SD card and format it. You’re all done.
