Erasing the Contents on a DirectCD Disc
- Using CD-RW media in your CD-RW drive,
you may erase the contents on the disc so that you can rewrite new information to the
same CD-RW media. To erase contents on a DirectCD CD-RW disc, select the files you
want to erase in your file management system (i.e. Windows Explorer). Select Delete from
the file menu. Click
Yes
to confirm that you want to erase the files from your CD-RW disc.
DirectCD will then erase your selected file(s).
Important Note:
The Delete command will not actually erase files on CD-R discs. Instead, the files will become
invisible to the file management system.
