How do you delete files on a cd-r?

Question

I have songs on it but how do I delete it??

Answer 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.]  

Answer 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.

Answer 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.

Answer 4

You can't, You need CD-RW

Otherwise throw it away.

Answer 5

without being cd rw its not possible.

Answer 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.

Answer 7

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