Can't remove android secure folder from sd

I have an non rooted, official Tab Pro 12.2 on 5.1.1. with an 64Gb sandisk Ultra SDXC micro usb card. I use the sd for movies on holidays. A few weeks ago i suddenly couldn't delete or write any files anymore. Not even format the card in the Tab, on Windows Xp, Windows 10, or even Linux Mint. In other tablets or phones i get the message that the card is empty, but can't be formatted. When i take a picture, the image is stored on the sd, so it isn't broken. I just can't remove it anymore.
I tried several programs for formatting sd cards, but i get the message that the card is write protected.
There is an folder named .android_secure and it can't be removed. I googled and found out that this is folder is created by app2sd, but i never used this app. Also i never moved apps to the sd card, so i don't understand how this folder is created. By the way, the date of the folder is 1-1-1970. Very strange.
It's very easy to buy a new sd card, but what if this happens again and ruin my next sd?
Has anyone had this problem and perhaps has a solution.
