Proper Way to Delete Files From SD Card

[Dfly]

Hey all,

Newbie here and loving my Evo II Pro thus far.

I apologize for the rookie question and maybe this is a generic question, but I want to be sure not to corrupt anything-or leave unnecessary files on my card...

Once I transfer my photos and videos to my computer, what is the best way to delete the files from the SD?
A: Go into the 100Media folder and delete the actual files?
B: Delete the entirety of folders on the card?

Doing option A seems to leave the Misc/THM folders filled with data. Would simply deleting all folders on the card create a formatting issue once I put the card back into the Evo? (On that note, why did Autel include a USB-C to Micro USB adapter? I'd love to just xfer to my computer via cable, but my computer doesn't have a micro USB port (do any, for that matter?) Another cable to have to buy, I guess...)

Thanks!

JP

Whoops, I think I figured it out after watching an older x-star tutorial...Just go into the camera settings in the app and scroll down to format the card, thus erasing all data for me.

That’s what I do is always reformat In the drone.
Don’t have a Autel but been doing it that way for 6 years.
Welcome to the forum ?

I just delete the folders on the card before I eject from the computer, and I don't routinely reformat the card. I've never had a problem.

I do a quick format before ejecting from computer, never had a problem

FWIW, a reminder when doing quick format on computer make sure it is exfat, just sayin
