My Issue

My SD Card corrupted by Spotify.

I tried to format it from Android, when it was saying "done buddy!" nothing got removed.

I tried from Windows, but I got an error without any code (with fast-format and Windows' full-format). I then tried "Check and repair the device" but it told that there was an error and that it couldn't repair the SD Card (ironic lol)

So I also tried DISKPART, and format, clean and repair it from there, but same! It tells either that it's done successfully, or that there was an error.

I then used the last tool to my disposition. Windows' CHKDSK. Well, guess what ?

Here's the error that prevents me from formatting !

\Android\data\com.spotify.music\files\spotifycache\Users\{MY_USER_ID}-user\metadata_cache.bnk The first allocation unit is invalid. The entry will be truncated.

That's how I know that it comes from Spotify. I was already almost sure to be honest, like I knew that it was causing few errors... But I wouldn't expect that it was just the user file.

I guess that I have no choice, I HAVE to buy a new SD Card ?
