Hi there,

If your memory card is full, you have to delete from it to create more space on it. if you do not delete fron the memory card, you wont be able to create space on your memory card.

Hope that fixed your problem.
Have a lovely day.

Plugging the SD card into your laptop and its saying it full, double click My Computer and it will display your memory card, double click your memory card will open up a new screen with all your pictures in them left click the mouse and drag it to all the pictures you dont want, after selecting the pictures you dont want right click a highlighted picture and click delete, this will remove the pictures from your memory card, if you would like to keep the pictures highlight all the pictures on your memory card right click one of them and left click either Copy or Cut, doing this will copy all the highlighted pictures go to your documents and in an empty space right click it and select Paste this will place all the highlighted pictures onto your documents, after which you can go back to your memory card and delete them all this will free up space so you can take more pictures

Did you delete the pictures from the internal camera memory and not the SD card? An easy way to solve this problem would be to insert the card into your computer and open up "My Computer". In here you should see your memory card mounted as a usable drive. Open up the SD card, select everything in it by pressing "Control" + "A" and then hitting delete. This will clean everything off of the card. If you want to save the files from the card first, simply make a folder somewhere on your PC and drag all of the files from the SD card into that folder after pressing "Control" + "A". If you are still getting an error stating your card is full after removing them this way you may need to re-format the card or it may be malfunctioning.

I have a insignia 7.0 mega pixel...I took 50 pics

I don't have your camera, and don't know what kind of memory card you have, but many memory cards have a "lock" switch right on the card, easy to flick by accident.

My flip camera says its empty but when I try to record it says its full??

Your memory card may think it's full if you've been deleting pics from it when it's in your PC and not in the camera.

If you've offloaded all the pics you want to from your memory card, put it back in your camera and "reformat" the card - there should be instructions how to do this in your camera manual. (If you've misplaced your manual you can likely find an online version on the website of your camera manufacturer). Hopefully this will fix your problem.

From now on, (even if you have to buy a new memory card), don't do any editing or deleting of pics directly on the memory media while it is in your PC (or Mac). Offload your pics to a file of their own on the PC (you can edit pics from that file). Then put the memory card back into the camera, verify that you did indeed successfully offload the pics to the PC (with the media card out of the PC), then delete the pics from the card while it's in the camera.

Reformat the memory card periodically (in the camera) after you've offloaded your pics (reformatting will erase all pics so you've gotta be sure you captured them elsewhere) to maintain the 'health' & full functionality of your memory card.


thanks.

Will not take pictures camera saying full when memory card is not full also when no memory card is in camera

Your camera is talking about its internal memory. If you want the card to start working, you must get rid of the pics on the internal memory. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions.

Says internal memory is full. how do I clear it

You have to delete the pictures in the memory using the camera's function to do this. If you have a memory card in the camera, you might not be able to see the pics in the internal memory, so take it out first, then review the pics in the camera and delete as many as you can (not the ones you want to keep, obviously). When you put the memory card back in, the camera should save pics to that instead of internal memory, but if the internal memory is completely full, it can't work properly. It needs some elbow room.

I put a new card in my camera because my last one was full. Then I took several pictures. All of the sudden i get a message saying "memory card needs formatting." I pressed "ok" format. It deleted all of...

First of all, do you know you're supposed to download the pics from your full card to your computer and then format the card in the camera? Keeping them on the card is risky since the cards are not made for long term storage. The pics can degrade over time. Formatting completely erases a card and that's what happened with your new card. All new cards should be formatted in the camera before using....that's what your camera was trying to tell you.

Internal memory is full,I have erased all

Take out memory card from camera, format internal memory to delete all pictures at once or delete them one by one.
Once memory card is inserted in camera, internal memory is no longer available to store/ delete pictures so remove memory card from camera to get access to internal memory.

How do I clear the memory so I can take more pictures I can only take about 22 pictures and I have a 1GB sandisk card, then it says my memory is full

You can connect your camera to your PC or laptop. then transfer all your pics to anyone of it. After that you can delete all the pics from the camera memory card. hence providing you with a full 1GB free space to click as many pics you want to.

Please respond back if this does not resolve your problem.

Have a great day.
