i've been trying to figure out how to transfer an emunand from my old sd card to a new one, and i was following the sticky guide on this forum (http://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-transfer-emunand-to-another-sd-card-working-on-new3ds.383684/), my old card ended showing up as a 2TB card instead of a 32gb as it should. What should i do to get it back to its regular size?
you bought a fake card test it with h2testw and then use a partiton manager to erase all partitions and create one with the real size

If deleting the partition table does not work for you then others probably are right. You bought a fake card.

If it is legit though(very unlikely), then somehow the firmware of the flash chip is broken. You would need an industry tool specifically for that sd card model to rewrite that broken part of the sd card to make it work again (Chinese/Russian leak *cough*)
But seriously it's not worth the trouble.

The thing I found strange is that after using sd formatter, the sd card suddenly haves 2 partitions. (Found that out in easeus) bought a 64gb from alixpress, so I could know that the odds are very high on buying a fake one :P
