MicroSD Card in Note 10+

[Mattdels]

I just received the Android 10 update on my Verizon Note 10 Plus. When I updated it, I didn't take out my new Samsung 128GB evo-select micro SD card. I noticed now there are a bunch of folders in it that weren't there before, ie alarms, android, downloads, movies, music, notifications, pictures, podcasts, and ringtones.

In the android folder it has three subfolders, data, media, and obb. Was wondering if deleting all of the folders would harm the phone or card? Just want to use the SD card for videos and photos.

I deleted the Android folder and it the OS recreated it.

It wouldn't harm. But the OS would make a new one everytime you delete them....

Interesting, I thought it was my imagination. My wife switched from her cr@ppy iPhone 8 to a new Note 10+ yesterday. Upon purchase, immediately installed the new Android 10 update. I inserted a brand new 256GB Kingston memory card to her new phone. When I connected her phone to my Windows laptop to download music to her card, I noticed a bunch of new folders such as music, video, etc. I thought to myself, what the hay, I didn't create those folders! In any case, I kept the folders as is, copied MP3 files to the music folder, copied MPEG4 files to the video folder, copied jpeg images to the picture folder. Then detached her phone from my laptop, and everything worked perfectly for all the files I installed. So I'm not complaining, will just leave things the way they are. Seeing all those folders on a brand new card did puzzle me though!

As an aside, I inserted her new USB-C headphones into her new Note 10+ phone (the supplied one from the box), and a message screen came up that said something like a new software update is available for the USB-C headphone. I had never seen such an update message before, but went ahead and performed the quick update. When I plugged her same headphones into my own Note 10+, I did not get that same update request message. Weird.

I just tried plugging in the AKG ones for the first time and got the firmware update as well, your other phone must have gotten it already somehow
