Hey all.

BACK STORY: the other day I popped my SD card from my 3.60 enso Vita into my Windows 10 PC to copy some files. Windows gave me a message like "there's a problem with this drive" so I did the scan and repair. All seemed fine, until I noticed a folder called FOUND000 on my SD card after the scan/repair with 21 small 64K files on it, with names like FILE000x.CHK.

I'm guessing there was some corruption on my SD card after a hard restart, and these are chunks of data that got corrupted or lost.

Since I have no good way of knowing where these data came from i.e. what files they were once part of, I'm now afraid things may become unstable.

MY QUESTION: is it safe to keep the card as is, or should I just reformat and start from scratch to be sure?
