| Sep 21, 2015 at 3:22 | comment | added | steve_oh111 | Thanks, you've confirmed what I thought I knew...but someone called me out recently for not transferring EVERYTHING over before reformatting the card, so I just wanted to double check. | |

@Random832 Maybe? I don't know why you'd want to do that, though — you might as well just put in the new card fresh and tuck the old one somewhere safe. Unless your plan is to keep your SD card as your main photo storage, and that's a terrible plan. And even then, you don't generally need the stuff outside of DCIM.
