Hi, I am quite noob with the nature of the XCI file.. I don’t know why i cannot delete xci files from my sd card (i want to save space for new switch game xci)

The adapter is normal and my laptop can also detect the file in the sd card. However no option to delete the file..

Can someone give me some insight? On why i cannot delete the xci file..

Thanks

Your SD might been corrupted, format it and put back the files

are you able to do it from SX Installer? Thats how I do it mostly. I rarely take out my SD card anymore for anything.

How you go with this?

What microSD adapter are you using?

If your using the microSD => standard SD Card size adapter, make sure that little tab is not set to LOCK, as this will prevent you from deleting/editing anything on the SD CARD.

If your using a microSD USB adapter, then you don't have to worry about this LOCK tab, and you should just delete the files.

If you can't delete, windows should at least give you some/any error messages.
