My CD does not allow me to delete individual files that I have written on it. It says it is read-only. How do I change this?
verty said:It must be written in 'multisession' mode for you to delete files. It's RW so you can erase it and rewrite it as a multisession disc.
Yes, you can delete individual files on a CD-RW (rewritable) disc, unlike a CD-R (recordable) disc where the data is permanently burned onto the disc.
To delete individual files on a CD-RW, you will need to use a disc burning software that supports the "multisession" feature. This allows you to add and delete files on the disc without erasing the entire contents. Simply open the software, select the files you want to delete, and click on the "delete" or "erase" option.
No, once you delete files from a CD-RW, they cannot be recovered. This is because the files are physically removed from the disc, unlike a computer's recycle bin where deleted files can be restored.
No, deleting individual files on a CD-RW will not affect the other files on the disc. However, if you choose to "finalize" the disc after deleting files, it will no longer be rewritable and the remaining files cannot be deleted or edited.
Yes, you can reuse a CD-RW after deleting files. As long as there is enough available space on the disc, you can continue to add and delete files on it. However, keep in mind that repeatedly deleting and adding files may eventually cause the disc to become unreadable.
