Erasing memory off of an SD card?

I have an SD memory card that I used in my digital camera and I want to erase the memory. The only problem is that the camera it was in is not working anymore. I have a card reader that put all the pics on my computer. I want to use this card in my mp3 player and erase the pics of the card. Does any one know how to erase the card without the device it was originally in?

Answers:
you have to put the card in the reader and then go to my computer and open it (a good way to know which one to open is to go to my computer before you put the card in and watch to see if another icon appears after it is put in), then you should see either all of the pictures or a folder with pictures in them. once you find the pictures, or folder containing pictures, you just have to delete them like you would any thing else (right click them and selecting delete or dragging to the trash can).

i hope this helps and is not too complicated or over-simplified.
the SD works regardless of its original device. The files will show up on the computer exactly as if the SD were a hard drive or memory stick.

Just open up the card in your computer and delete the unwanted files and load your music - though technically speaking you wouldnt even need to do that: your MP3 would not crash if it found a jpeg on the SD card =)

Your Digital camera more than likely placed your image files in a folder called IMG on your SD card.
SD memory card is a storage device and can be formatted.

Simply insert SD memory card into your computer and format it. Formatting it will erase everything.

Good luck my friend
