Sometimes, we transfer files and pictures from a USB or SD card and suddenly Windows hangs or shuts down. This results in the corruption of our external storage device. When we try to open it, it shows ‘format the card’ or ‘your card is emptied’ on the screen. This means the card has been corrupted and you must format it.

To solve this issue, you have to recover the data with the help of data recovery tools. With these tools, you can return your accidentally deleted files from the card. One such recovery tool is Recuva. Recuva can make images of the files to recover them all.

If you want to recover your data, do not choose the option ‘Full Format’. Instead, choose ‘Quick Format’. It enables you to open the card like before.
