Micro SD Card Doesn't Work

[ギMaaniギ]

So i had a spare 1TB Lenovo Micro Sd card lying around and i decided to use it. I did the basic instruction which was to format it, however there was an error. So then I switched to Desktop mode and saw that the sd card was in the exFat format. I got my windows laptop and then reformatted it to ext4. I then put my sd card into the steam deck and formatted again, there was the same error.

I went back to desktop mode and saw that the file turned into exfat again despite it being ext4 before I formatted on switch, I saw that there was a lost+found folder that also took up all the space in the SD card even though there was nothing in it.

Help would be appreciated, idk if i even have a good SD Card since it works on other devices apart from this.

have you tried formatting the card through desktop OS on the steam deck?
what is the error you receive?

So i tried to manually format on desktop mode and now I'm unable to mount it. It says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock.

No not yet however I found an external usb drive, worked perfectly and watched a video so it could auto mount but now again the same error appears on desktop p mode "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock"
