To format an SD card on your Steam Deck in desktop mode, first, switch your Steam Deck to desktop mode by pressing the Steam button, selecting 'Power', and then 'Switch to Desktop'. Once in desktop mode, plug in your SD card. Open the 'Disks' application from the applications menu. Find your SD card in the left panel, select it, then click the gear icon and choose 'Format Partition'. Make sure to back up any important data before formatting because this will erase all data on the SD card!

Just boot into desktop mode, use the Disks app to format. Easy peasy.

Honestly, why bother? Just use it as is. Formatting is overrated unless you're having issues.
