How do you delete from a CD-r disc?

Answer 1

You can't delete individual songs from any type of CD. If the CD is rewriteable (CD-RW), you can blank / format (remove all content from) it using suitable CD-burning software and then re-burn the songs that you still want on the CD.

Answer 2

The name gives a part of the answer.

recordable means you can put something on the disc once, then it closes the disc. That means deleting date from it doesn't have any use, unless you want to hide/delete your porn.

So if you have any reason to just destroy the disc by deleting the data, just scratch it with something sharp, or put it in the microwave or something, nothing technical about that, but it is what you asked for :P

Answer 3

Depending on the device you are using it will be different. That being said, In most cases including using a computer you will insert the CD. Then go to my computer and highlight the device playing the CD and RIGHT click on it. You will see an option that says "format". That will erase all data on the CD (as long as it is not a CD-R) and you then have an empty CD. CD-R's cannot be erased once loaded.

Hope this works for you.

Answer 4

It depends on the type of CD. If it is a commercially produced CD there is no way to delete data from the disc. Blank CDs once written can only be updated if they are re-writeable discs. Otherwise, the easiest way to remove a track is to copy the CD to a computer and write the tracks to a new one, removing those that aren't wanted.

Answer 5

You cannot erase CDR's. The only way to make it unaccessible is to break it into pieces.

Answer 6

It's not possible on CD-R, but only on CD-RWR

Answer 7

hilight the junk you want gone and hit the delete button... wrong it has to be a rewritable cd.

Answer 8

put it into your computer and view the files it will delete if it is an earasable disk!

Answer 9

It seems you cannot delete files from a CDR - only a CDRW.
