may be virus in you memory card, but is simple.
just open you memory card, create any file .rar(mouse right>new>winRAR archive)
after open the file, after click in arrow(up one level) and find you files, after find, drag to your pc.
after drag all files format the memory card and back all files.
sorry my english
re
The trick with Winrar didn't help( in internet explorer I've made to see all the files - system and so ), I wonder if have some progrem that can helpme to see the images.
my english is bad as yours

I can't access the recovery anymore, can't connect it for disk drive. ROM MGR can't open the card either. I have Clockwork Recovery & I don't know what to do to get the card back to normal. Suggestions please? How will I access my Root if it's stored on this card? Don't know what to do......
Thanks in Advance...
Sometimes a file on my sd card will become corrupt, causing it to mount read only. I'm wondering if you meant to say your card was read only? If so, try plugging your card into a computer and copying the contents to the PC. If an error pops up about a file, delete that file from the card and you should be good to go. If no error happens, make a backup of the card, then reformat the card on your PC, pop it into your phone and format it again under settings->sdcard. Then just copy the contents from your PC back onto it.
Since this my first post I can't provide a link. This is a copy and paste from a different forum. Worked for me and I didn't have to reformat:
"I approached it without reformatting. I took the SD card out and loaded it into a card reader and looked at the file system on the card. One of my subdirs in my Music directory was corrupted and I wasn't able to delete the folder.
So I right clicked on the removable drive and went to properties.
From there I clicked on the TOOLS tab and then on the CHECK NOW button for error checking.
I ran this a few times until I was finally able to kill the remaining files in that subdir.
I then reloaded the card and everything seems ok, except I need to reload my music."

Thanks. Both of these I have noted & will try. I appreciate You Guys taking time to help.... GOD Bless!
Alright, so youve got plenty of random files and stuff stuck on your SD card, that just take up memory. What stuff you do remove? If im rooted do i need all of those root files that i used to root my phone?
Whats the best way to clean it up?
Once your rooted you do not need any files on your sd card related to rooting, you can remove those, what i did was copy the entire contents of my sd card to my computer, then formated my sd card from the phone then only transfered back files I was using or needed for certain apps to function. Cleaned it up and gained valuable storage space.
oh, sweet. thanks for your repsonse. how did you go about copying the files to your computer? like did you just copy and paste the files to...wherE?

Just mount your phone as an external storage device, it will come up under your "My Computer" on your computer as another drive, then just create a new folder on your computer somewhere, then open the phones drive up just copy and paste the files from your phone to the folder on your computer. Remember to keep the file you removed, just in case you forget to move something back that you needed you can always go back into the file and move it back to the phone.
Just FYI..the folder "clockworkmod" in ur sd card contains your recovery and all ur nandroid backups..you might wanna keep that one onboard..
Hi,
looking at the contents of my SD card, i have loads of folders with either nothing in, or just a few temp files.
which ones do i actually need on the phone??
could i remove my folders, format the card and then re-insert it, or would android just have a fit if i did that?
cheers
yes, you could format it, the next time you plug it in, android will automatically push the folders that are need to the sd card

Unless you have apps installed on the sd card. They will have to be reinstalled.

usually apps create folders on sd card so you can try erease those that you dont want or dont have
The best trick would be to make a back-up of the apps you really don't want to lose. Then just use your android to wipe the SD card. Like fielddb said, your phone will create the files needed. I had 46 files on mine since I was using it on other cellphone and they were all creating their own files... then you'll just need to puts your apps back, some might create personal folders for them though.
Greetings everyone,
After almost a year of using xperia arc and plenty of cleanups with SEUS I never formated my SD Card. I have a 16GB class 6 one which is half full (Mostly with music, pictures and videos) and yet its full of folders from Apps i used in the past.
The question is; If i delete everything from sd card via computer, then re-mount the card will the needed folders be replaced? Also I have moved apps to sd which i still use, will the folders be replaced aswell?
and last; I already copied all the files i need to my computer, if I will re-download an app and paste the folder back there, will I have the saves back?

a bit difficult, try to delete the unused folders instead
but if you do the right backup of the needed data, yes the data will be there.
and the deleted folders created by system should be recreated

You must make sure that you format your SD card with FAT32 file system.If you are using Windows OS then there is no need to get worried.Just go ahead with the normal procedure.
Once you format,all the folders and files will be deleted and when you mount it in your phone,the necessary files and folders will be created on its own.These necessary files do not belong to the applications you moved to SD card and it means that you must create a back up of your apps before you format your card,in order to use the apps even if you format your sd card.
I would suggest "Titanium Backup" app to back-up your apps.And when you are done with the back up, make sure that you copy the folder named "TitaniumBackup" from your sd card to your PC/Notebook and then format your card.

Thats the answer I was waiting for
Thanks mate, I will delete all the files from my SD Card after the ICS update that we will have in about a month, unless if i flash another rom before that so I will have a clean phone.

Hi! I have htc 10 with 128 gb sd card formatted as internal memory. I was transferring a photo folder from phone to laptop using USB cable and USB connection in media transfer mode. The folder seemed to be transferring alright but the pasted folder in laptop is empty. Since I didn't understand photo sync in Google photos I don't have any backup...desperately seeking to restore that folder. Need all the help
I'd avoid using the SD as internal, sounds great in principle but can cause issues if there's an interrupt..
For apps I'd use folder mount, needs root but it's simple to use and doesn't affect internal memory.
In regards to the images, did you cut the images? Copy or simply drag them, a drag would be a copy. So the original should have remained. If you cut them then they'll have been in limbo and will then be marked for deletion.
In future always use copy instead.
If the photos are no longer in the phones memory then they'll have been marked for deletion, a data recovery app on Windows and or your mobile may help but not sure.. Have had a lot of luck on SD cards when plugged into Windows but never scanned a phone as it's a live OS and I imagine it would need complete read access.
If the photos were on the SD card and are no longer visible, connect the SD card up to your computer because if they're marked for deletion and the OS decides to use those clusters, it'll be overwritten which will make it harder for recovery.
Hi,
apps from market not working for me, but Recuva has worked hundred times for me.
