Gaming content in switch folder got deleted

[Noaken]

Hi there, I'm on 6.2 using Atmosphere 0.8.3, and i did a manual downgrade from 7.0 to 6.1 to 6.2 using this guide "https://guide.sdsetup.com/#/manualchoidowngrade". Now i've been using it for some time but a few hours ago when i went to my homebrew menu and it said that there was no content in the switch folder, i tought i just had to restart my switch and it would be fixed but nope, that wasn't the case, i plugged my micro sd card into my pc and i went to the switch folder and everything was gone in that folder, every other folder is fine but the content inside the switch folder got deleted, i use exFAT and i use this sd card "https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/564323/samsung-evo-plus-256gb-microsdxc-card-+-sd-adapter.html" also everytime i plug the sd card into my pc it says there is a problem with it maybe that has something to do it. Does someone know why this happened, and how to avoid it?

Classic case of exFAT corruption. Reformat to FAT32 and never look back at exFAT.

These exFAT horror stories are starting to freak me out. I need my big files though

All you need is USB install (and split your .XCI files if you bought SX OS).

I don't have sxos, how do i split these files that are over 4gb?

If you don't have SX OS, then you don't need to split .XCI files as you can just install everything in .NSP format with USB install.

I thought that normal fat 32 could only have invalid files of less 4gb how does that work with hames. I'm having a problem where every subfolder from atmosphere is being deleted I can't do anything. It was doing it awhile ago and stopped.

Games are automatically split into <4 GB chunks. This is done even if the SD card is exFAT.
