  1. You can't you can only write to cd-r's. You will need a cd-rw to delete/move files freely, [CD- RE WRITEABLE.]  


  2. Seems I will be joining the others with my answer, you can't delete from a CD R, because the R stands for Readable.  A CD RW is a Readable Writeable  CD, where you can continually "re-record" information on it.

    So, to answer your question;  You can't, you need a CD RW.

  3. Unfortunately, a CD-R is a ROM device which means once you write to it you cannot erase or re-write to it.  You can erase and re-write to CD-RWs though.

  4. You can't, You need CD-RW

    Otherwise throw it away.

  5. without being cd rw its not possible.

  6. If the disk you use is a CD-R (Recordable) it can't be erased, as this is a one use Disk. If you used a CD-RW (Rewritable) just put it into your Drive and go to My Computer, rightclick the Disk Drive and choose "Erase this CD".

    Hope that helps.

  7. You can't unless you used a CD-RW to begin with
