Please help me, I have a major headache now and don’t want this post looked over

My microSD card with my Ubuntu installer- I want to delete the installer data, and put the installer data back on the card but taking up less size

I reformatted it- and it no longer shows the installer data

But now it says it has 3.07 GB of freespace- (out of the 128 GB it came with)

@joshua ah yeah you might need like... An SD card formatter utility. That basically low level formats the SD card and removes ALL partitions, including ones that can't normally be read by the system it's being looked at on. I had to do that with the one for my rpi3b+ when I tried to transfer over the same sdcard from my 3b

@Nine @joshua you can usually just format from the windows command line assuming you're on windows

@noiob @joshua this is true but the SD card uh... f-foundation?? or whatever they are? The people who made the SD card standard?? have a really useful windows tool that does all that for you nice and simply. aaand pretty quickly at that too. which is possibly a bit easier than futzing around with a commandline especially if you're like me and command lines are terrifying things and you not got the energy to search through all the docs for the right command.
