how do i get my lost 6 gb on my 8 gb micro sd card?

i have an lg viewty with an 8gb micro sd card and formatted it on phone by accident and now its only showing 1.8gb, how do i get it back to 8gb

Hi, the answer is to save all of the information on the card to a pc. Then while the card is in the slot and still connected to the pc, format it. This will then convert it back to an 8gb card once again. However if you still need it to work in your phone, the phone will format it once again to the 2gb size. Therefore the best advice is to buy a new 2gb card solely for the phone use. Do not buy a cheap card, as they are usually rubbish or cards that have been rejected by other suppliers, buy a decent quality card. They generally also last a lot longer and are much more reliable.

Regards.

i bought it on amazon for bout £16. it says its an 8gb card and i've had up to 4gig used until now but i recently found out my phone (lg viewty) only uses up to 2gb sd cards.

Where did you get the card from? It could possibly be a copy, which it is why it would be showing such a low memory after formatting.
