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?

    gudenau @ gudenau: What is the max transfer rate that the USB port on the Switch allows?
