Topic: MicroSD Card is Full but only few games downloaded

Hello,

I have 128GB MicroSD card and only few switch games on it but why the MicroSD storage get full ?
Only 20 GB left.
The total size of few games I downloaded not 100 GB.
I check the MicroSD card with Card Reader there's only Nintendo Folder with 24,5 GB size.
Where is the other 75 GB data ? This problem always come even after I have format the MicroSD.
Please help solve the problem.
Sorry for bad English.

Thank you.

Sounds like a dodgy sd card .... If you did get it through a reputable seller, you should be able to get a refund, since such things can happen with any brand

@Rie You might have a bogus, counterfeit card. Some shady Amazon sellers sell counterfeit cards. When inserted, these bogus cards will say they have the advertised capacity, but their true capacity is actually much smaller.

@Rie Like other people said, your card could be phony. Or it might have junk files on it. You can try to reformat it.

Hello thank you for your answer.
I have try to format it several times but same problem occur.
I found out that when I download game from eshop then it failed with error code 2005-0003, when I try redownload the game it takes space on MicroSD then we redownloaded failed again then I try again to redownload for third times it takes space again on MicroSD.
So it's MicroSD problem ?

@WoomyNNYes
Hello thank you for your answer.

I'll try to use new MicroSD and see what happen.

@BruceCM
Hello, thank you for give answer.
I'll try to use new MicroSD

@Rie That seems likely. Like other people said, some sellers try to scam you and say a card is larger than it actually is. Sounds like you got scammed. That's a bummer.

@Heavyarms55 Ok I'll buy new one and try

I'll say this again if the price is too good to be true then it's a SCAM. If prices for the same card are the same from other legit sellers aka SanDisk verified then that is the real price not the low rock bottom scam price. You buy fake cheap get burned. Fault is the buyers not the scammer.
