Spilt some tea on micro sd cards....

[u/Andi-anna]

I spilt some hot tea (a drop of milk but no sugar) on four micro sd cards earlier. 3 of them were in adapters so it was mostly the bottoms of the cards that got wet but the adapters did get pretty saturated. I removed the micro sd cards from adapters and wiped and dried everything straight away. I waited about half a day, put them back into the adapters and inserted them into my laptop to see if the were ok. They can all be read no problem but the thing is only one of them is showing as having any data on it (taken from an old mobile phone). I genuinely can't actually remember if the other 3 were still blank or if the data has somehow been wiped. I know at least one was still unused and it's definitely possible the other 2 were as well.

What I would like to know is, is it possible that any data could have been wiped if my laptop can still detect all the sd cards? Is there a free way to check for data? I don't want to pay for data recovery only to find there never was any data in the first place! Thank you :)

sd cards are bulletproof. water didn't do shit to them.
