Cannot delete pictures from my PNY card - PNY 4GB Micro Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive

it may have viruses so you should format this flash NTFS or FAT32

You will need to connect your PNY Optima to your computer Click start click on my computer to open from there you should see your PNY Optima then right click to select open you should see

the data / photo's in there select what you want to delete right click select delete or you can right Click select format this will delete all data on hard disk Hope this helps.

I've used Recuva (free download). Do a thorough deep scan and save to another drive. Very simple to use as long as you have not reused same physical space on card.

Click on start. Then choose windows explorer. Then find your memory card drive letter on the left side of the window pane. Click on the drive letter. When the memory card drive is selected then go up to the edit tab in the upper left and choose "'select all". Then hold down the shift key and hit the delete key on your keyboard. When it pops up asking you if your sure you want to delete the files click "yes". Just make sure it's the memory card files you are deleting...

You can do it to ways

Open up My computer

open removable storage drive may be called PNY or something like that.

right click and delete a file

or you can hit the delete key on the keyboard

Note:
If the need to delete multiple files simply hold the left mouse button and drag a selection box around what you want to delete. Then do one of the above Delete commands.

I would suggest you "NOT" to copy anymore files on your SD Card to prevent data loss or data corruption. Stop using it immediately.
Download an undelete program such as Undelete Plus. I think its a free download. and run the
program to recover your pictures. If you attempt to continue to use your SD Card you are at
higher risk of loosing your data.

Yes. Search online for "file recovery" software -- it reads through the memory-card, block-by-block, trying to "stitch" together the blocks into complete pictures.

Look for a small switch on the side. Switch away from the locked position.

My Sanyo camera says my sd card it full when it absolutely is not. Ive even tried uploading pictures to my computer and it tells me there is an issue. It just suddenly did this one day and I think I've lost about 150 photos from Easter and other things that I can't get back and worse I can't take any pictures with my camera now.

insert the card into your computer. The best way is (dependding what os you have...) open my computer in xp or computer on vista. Now right click on the drive your card is in now left click on format. It will ask you if will want to delete all the files click yes and your done it's been reformatted like it is a brand new card.

Warning once you format the card you can not undo what has been done so make sure you really want to delete your card.

Good luck and take many more pictures.
