My SD card has been working just fine for almost a year but now when I try to move anything inside it I get this error message (can't find file storage/sdcard1/...... EROFS Read Only File System) a reboot or unmounting then Mounting the SD card fixes it for a really short period of time but then it gives the same error again. I also cannot delete anything from the SD card. I don't get any error messages when I try to delete it just doesn't delete anything. Please help me!

@Cranachan

backup anything that you have on your SD card and then reformat the SD card.

@uliwooly
It's doing it again. Do I repeat the process?

Hello, I am getting the exact same error as of last week on a micro SD card (64GB SanDisk) I have in for > 18 months. My ohone an Xperia Z2 now running Andriod 6.0.1.

Have not tried the reformat option above yet. I did read that "because Flash NAND memory technology used in micro SD cards they only have a limited no. of read / write cycles which becomes read-only after a certain number of program-erase cycles. A program erase cycle is simply overwriting/deleting the data in a NAND cell. Most memory cards last 3-10000 cycles, after which they become read-only because it's not possible to erase information in the cells anymore,

In short, you can't fix it. Sorry. "

Does anyone know if this is true? I hope not.

My data OK - + I have alot of Apps stored on micro SD also.

Have ordered a new micro SD card and going to back-up and copy back over.

How do I ensure all required data gets copied from old Micro SD to new Micro SD so that both data and apps get copied over?

Thanks
