formatting, the raw issue with memory card not formatted error,
virus attack or some other reasons and then erase your files like
photos stored in the card.

Step 1.Connect the card to PC, Launch EaseUS free memory card recovery
software and select the card and click "Scan"
button.
Step 2. The software will start a quick scan first to search all the
files on the memory card. After the quick scan completes, a deep scan will
automatically launch in order to find more files.
Step 3. After the scan, this software allows you to preview some
types of files like pictures, documents, etc. and select out those you want.
Then, click "Recover" button to get them
back from the memory card. Here you should save all the recovered data on
another disk to avoid data overwriting.
