DSLR claims that my 16GB SD card is full from 32 photos. Is there something wrong?

I own a patriot 16GB Class 10 and a Sandisk Extreme 16GB. I use it on my Nikon D5200. For the year I have had it with the same SD Cards nothing wrong happened 'till now. In BOTH my cards, after taking just 32 photos my camera sys the storage is already full. I use to store over 500 photos on these cards. I didn't change the quality image nor size. Any thoughts?

    After you copy pictures to your camera and back up your images to an external device, you need to format the memory card in using the camera's format function. This is all in your manual.

    Same card for a year and you haven't formatted even once? After copying pictures to your computer, format the card to create new space for new ones.

    Card is corrupt now. You just need to save the images elsewhere and then reformat the card IN THE CAMERA. Don't import images onto that card from other devices either.

    In your camera settings set the resolution to less than 395 megapixles, this will take up less space on the card.

    Have you ever formatted the cards, in the camera?
