Formatting a CF Card

You should always format a CF card when
you wish to use a new one, or when you wish
to delete not only the images in the CF card
but also other data.
Formatting a CF card will permanently
erase all data already on it, including all of
its protected images. Check the contents
before formatting cards that were
previously used.
