Last, and actually most important, practically obsoleting the above
two observations: this card is being used in a camera? The camera must
be used to format it. That's what the camera manufacturer and the SD
card manufacturer will tell you. The interoperability is *so bad* with
SD cards, that they will both tell you that corruption and even camera
malfunction is expected if you don't format the card in-camera.
Further, it's well understood by pros and the amateur (the classic
connotation of the word implies someone more serious about their
interest than even a pro) that the camera image delete option
shouldn't be used.
I've come across that. But, said as it's best to only write to a card
on only one device, and for that device to do *all* the reading,
writing, deleting, and formatting. Though, in general, only delete
individual files if you're really short on space. Otherwise, leave
things there until you've done with the card.
Here, the distinction between pro and amateur was whether it's a paying
career, or not. Pro doesn't necessarily mean expert, or even any
good. ;-\

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
