J.R., I found the code. It is in Java. I am attaching it here. You can use any java IDE to run it. You will need to change the drive letter defined in the line below to the drive that maps your memory card.
FillDiskSpace fds1 = new FillDiskSpace("D:");
can be changed to:
FillDiskSpace fds1 = new FillDiskSpace("G:");
if your drive G is the memory card. The program creates a folder called Dir2Fill and fills it with 1MB files containing junk. So delete everything on the card. Run the program. Once it fills up, you can delete that folder and you should be ok. In case you are paranoid about the 1MB, change the line:
private static final int ONE_MB = 1048576;
to:
private static final int ONE_MB = 1024;
and you will be fine.
Code follows:
