    So, you think the card is not good anymore just because some empty directories are created on it?

    If that's really what you think, please send me all of your cards that are "not good" anymore, I'm sure I could find some use for them.

    Actually if the directories were empty it would not be so bad. but there is actually no space available on the card

    try disabling the tracker before going to format your card .

    please note that you will not be able to use your sdcard in windows , if you format it as ext2 .

    if you use linux then nothing to worry about , easiest way to format your sdcard is using gparted .

    Just a word of advice... If your always/often/sometimes/rarely go face to face with windows think twice on converting it to ext3
    If your linux then go ahead. There's a reason why portable storage uses fat32.

    Wow this is more complicated than I thought especially since I am a newbie to linux.

    If you formatted the card (standard FAT32) and re-inserted it to the N900, all the devices does is create the empty directories. So what is filling up the card?

    Can you (with the card in question inteserted into the N900) open an X terminal and type the following:

    du -h /media/mmc1

    And paste the results back here so we can identify what is filling up your card.

    I never get those folders.
    Did you use the mass storage mode with windows?
