Formatting the microSD Card
Both the internal device storage location (Main Storage) and microSD card (Storage Card) can be cleared of content via a Hard Reset and reformat process.
The Main Storage (My Device) location has only ~90 MB of storage capacity to contain your installed applications and files. Once this capacity is reached, you can obtain an error message indicating you need to clean up the Main Storage location (you have reached the 90 MB limit of your storage capacity and can no longer install additional applications).
The My Storage location contains up to 3.9 GB of storage capacity. If given the option for the destination of installed applications and files, it is recommended you use either the My Storage location or the microSD card.
