My sd card on my steamdeck

I can't seem to find my sd card on my steam deck.
I was trying to install cyberpunk via gog launcher, but when i had to install it, said it didn't have enough storage on this file. So i look up an tutorial and followed the steps on were to find my sd card. but when i opend my media file it only showed a file named root that i cant seem to open. Please help, I just want to play cyberpunk. If you have a diffrent solution on how to download it, I would apreciate it.

I would go into desktop mode and open the dolphin file manager. If the sd card is there it should be listed under removable devices in the left pane.

In game mode, under settings / storage, there is the options to format an sd card. Is it seen there?

What this user showed was where it is on the file system. Notice it was called 'primary'. And also notice that a drive with the same name is listed on the bottom left of the file manager.

If you don't see it. I would first pop the card out en put it in again. Just to see what happens.

There is also a nice tool called Disks which lets you see drives on the partition level. That would be a good way to get some more information on the card.

on desktop mode search for Heroic Games Launcher in the app store, install GOG games through there. Don't install GOG like this.
