Hacking Data Management Applet shows Wrong Space Left on SD Card after Deleting Failed NSPs installs

[Trishul]

After deleting NSP installs that won't load due to corruption or other errors with system Data Management applet, Switch shows less than actual space left on SD card. SD storage loss happens at NSP deletion, when console shows a wrong, much smaller install size than actual NSP. Goldleaf was used for NSP installs and I even tried removing unused tickets. I checked SD card on a PC which accurately shows storage space used by "Nintendo" folder. Has anyone else experienced this storage loss on Switch SD card (from console's perspective), and how to recover the lost space?

Have you checked to see if the SD card is fake or not?

You are correct, the card was a fake, a convincing Samsung Evo 256gb fake I found on eBay.

You must be one hell of an optimistic person, to dare buy an SD card on eBay.
