This is a good reminder, that we should always format our memory card to keep it fresh and optimal.
Until recently, I reformatted my camera’s memory card only sporadically. I always deleted all images after I upload them to my computer, but I was less diligent about reformatting the card. Why bother?
Turns out, there are some pretty good reasons. Reformatting ensures that the data on the card and the file structure are clean, which will help you avoid error messages or missing images. And the longer you go without reformatting a card, the better the chances that it will become corrupted. Another reason to reformat is, over time, your card will hold fewer images if you never reformat. So while it may stow 100 photos today, in a year that number could drop to 90.
