format sd on THC phone

I have a phone that I dont use (its a "mytouch" from tmobile) , It has a 8 gb sd card and I want to use it for storage purposes. I dont need the phone right now and I dont want to save anything on it, what would happen if i completely format it , put it back on the phone and turn it on?

Yes all pictures , contacts or whatever are gone but I seen some files on the card that look like windows\system32 files.... LOL.

I assume the phone itself will create their own folders and files whenever I turn it on and theres nothing on the card?

tHANKs.

wouldn't worry about it, just format it like you would any other storage device, I think most flash devices like these use FAT32 (or was it FAT16?). But yeah, if you put in the phone, if its like most any other device, it will reformat the card to its own standards and settings.

THC Phone? Does it double as a pipe? Can you hide your stash in it?

The phone has built in memory that it saves the OS to, you should be able to safely remove the SD card and use it for whatever you wish. If/when you re-install it in the phone, it may have to be re-formatted, so make sure you back up everything off of it that you want saved at that time.
