thanks for any insight.

When you delete pictures it doesn't actually get rid of them. It allows you to rewrite over them. You think they are gone because once you delete it doesn't allow you to see them. If you run a recovery software program all your old photos will be recovered.
The issue is that, just like in the 'olden days' of VHS, you could tape over and over on the same tape, but eventually you lost quality because of information confliction.
With a digital memory card it means that you stand the chance of data confliction that does not allow the card to operate properly.
Don't know what camera you are using...but most tell you that you should regularly format the card (I do this on a monthly basis). Formatting actually does completely reset all the card registers to factory empty.
