How to erase files on a cd-r?
i have Nero 5.5v and have about 10 wave files on a cd-r. I tried to erase them
on windows explorer but am denied. I know one doesn't actually erased them, but would not like to see them appear. BTW, I'm assuming that even they are 'erased' they still would occupy all that space they took up originally? Multisession does not seem to give that erase option. |

Multisession does not seem to give that erase option. You can't erase files on a CDr. You need a CDrw if you want erasable files. On those it isn't too easy. You need to format using packet writing software (INCD with Nero). I don't think individual files can be erased with that. To wipe them reformat the CDrw . Usually software gives you an option to Quick erase. Steve M |

Select "Continue" multisession, delete the unwanted files in the layout window, and then burn. The unwanted files will be "logically" erased. |

For such basic questions, please see one of the usual references: the CD-R FAQ or the primer at my WWW site. Briefly: A write-once disc is not erasable. In order to make a data file more difficult to access and to remove it from the TOC, you must have left the disc open and write a second session in which you do not import the file. There is no corresponding operation for CD-DA since an audio player is single-session. Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

If you have formatted the CDR for packet-writing, yes, you can make it look like you "erased" or "deleted" the file - but it's still there on the CDR. The entry in the TOC was updated to make it ignore that file, but it CAN'T be erased as CDR media is not "erasable." You need a CDrw if you want erasable files. On those it isn't too easy.
