    What are the origins of this card? There are tonne of fake/counterfeit SD cards on the market and they often much lower capacity than they appear (even when checking via Windows PC), any files you add to them just disappear.

    Try adding files to it via PC and see what it's true capacity is.

    It was so bad at one point that even Amazon had the fake cards in stock after their supplier unwittingly bought them.

    Have you perhaps got the phone set to upload to cloud (eg Google Drive) then delete after uploading? pretty sure it's an option on my LG phone
