iirc you have to open link2sd and go into settings to format amd mount the second partion before you move things. I stopped using link2sd over a year ago because I started having nothing but problems with it.

Put sdcard in PC and right click to open menu, then format to something totally different using the Slow Format option the 1st time.. It's usually in xfat or fat32 and I format to something like ext3. When done, I format to another like NTFS, then to ext4. And lastly back to fat32.. Should be good afterwards. That process works well for USB flash drives as well

Yep, agreed. Link2SD has been the bane of sdcards for awhile. TBH, the sdcards can't really read/write at the speed and durability of the actual android device's capabilities and just wears the out extremely fast. I burned up several 64GB sdcards and one 128GB version before I caught on and quit. Haven't had a problem out of them since..

Are you getting the error on Pc or your phone? I would recommend this app over link2sd
