Sd card problem

Suddenly the camera isn't saving to sd. It say it's corrupted. I shut the phone down and rebooted but I have the same problem. Is it safe to take the card out and maybe check it? How can I tell if it's really bad or just the overstuffed phone causing trouble?
 
How old is the card, what brand (is it a cheapo)?
They do fail after a lot of writes especially the off-brand ones or worse counterfeit.
Best thing is to copy all the files from it while you still can and replace it with a good quality new one.
 
Since the Moto G Stylus claims the card is corrupted, is it safe to remove it? It's been about a week now. As far as I know the phone isn't using it. Do I have to shut it off first? Since the side buttons do not work, my only choice is to use restart. If I powered it off, how would I get it on again?

Maybe charge it and it should automatically power on again... or leave it alone and see what the tech guys can handle it.
