The following instructions refer to the GoPro model series "Hero3" and "Hero3 +". If you format your SD card, all recordings will be irretrievably deleted. Therefore, save all data on your PC beforehand.
- Start your GoPro with the SD card inserted.
- Use the front on / off button on the camera to navigate to the settings menu with the wrench. Open it with the trigger button.
- Use the on / off button in the settings to move to the trash can icon and open the submenu.
- Select the "All / Format" option below to fully format your SD card.
- Confirm the security question so that the data is deleted from your SD card. The LED light on your action cam and the trash can icon flash until formatting is complete.
