It takes 30 seconds to format a card in device being used
.
Why take any chance.

Google is your friend.

Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file management information on the card and does not erase the data completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically destroying cards.

Low-Level Formatting / Deep Formating

Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card error] is displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before lowlevel formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them up.

For the most part it is best to use certain cards with specific cameras. Different model within the same brand use different versions of operating systems. I learned early on taking a card out of one without formatting it in the camera it is now being used in can render files not seen or inaccessible. Once the card works fine try just using it with that camera and see how that works.

The issue you are referring to is that when you you put the card in a different camera it creates a new folder. If your camera doesn't allow you to see both folders, you will find them when you put the card in a computer. With Nikon you can find the additional folders through the menu. I would guess that is the same for other brands.
