can't write to sd card android

Try removing and reinserting it into your device. But going read only is something SDs can do if they're failing and need replacing.
Hi! I just bought this SD card online and after around 2 days a notification that says "Can't write to SD card" appeared. Because of that I can't delete or move files into the SD card. I tried formatting the SD card hoping that it would be fine but the notification still appears afterwards. I unmounted my SD card for a month and thought that it should rest and I inserted it just yesterday. I thought it would be fine now but the notification still appears. What do I do? I don't want my money to be wasted just like that. btw, its a San Disk SD Card with 64 gb capacity and my phone is Samsung Galaxy A10s. pleasee helppp!

Update 13 min after: I turned off my phone, unmounted the SD card, and inserted it again. As I turned on my phone the SD card is now "not inserted" on My Files and I looked up to my settings and found that SD card is "corrupted" what do I do with this?

Well It should work in a Samsung M20. But from what you describe it sounds like the micro-SD you've got is duff. And if you just bought it, return it and ask for a replacement or a refund.

I bought a 512GB micro-SD from directly from Samsung, put it my Huawei Mate 10 to store music, videos, etc, and it's totally reliable.
