I want to format my 400gb micro sd cart to fat32 since recently some of the folder on it went corrupt due to shoddy ExFat drivers on the switch. Do any of you know on how to format a SD card this size into a fat32?

I'll try it, thanks. (Also is there a way to back up all my games or do I have to redownload them)
If your computers hard drive is big enough to fit them all, just backup the entire sd card to the computer. Otherwise, you might have to reinstall them.
Keep in mind, if a single file is over 4gb, it can't be transfered to a fat32 formatted storage device.

So with a Nintendo folder with 132gb size...its not possible correct?

Just to expand on this... All the games you have on your card will transfer over to a FAT 32 no problem even if it was a game larger than 4GB. The switch splits large games. The 4GB limit comes into play with installing new games. You will need to get the nsp splitter or install nsps via the usb option in tinfoil.
