If you can view the contents in Windows Explorer, you should be able to do a format. But, from what I understand, the camera won't be able to use the card until you format it with the camera because the formatting is performed differently on the PC and the camera can't read it.

The Nikon card reader software works in Explorer and you delete images the same you delete files. Simply select them and hit the delete button.
