This only happens with big games(>2-3gigs).
I tried formatting my SD card but to no avail. Right now the SD card can only store games like Terraria, Tetris etc.

There is another error which is the switch lite shows only 21 gigs of memory left even though i only have atmost 3 gigs of game in the internal memory.

It's a SanDisk ultra 128 gigs microSDXC

I paid about 15 bucks for it
