Burning - Erase a rewritable disc (CD-RW / DVD-RW / DVD + RW

It is not necessary to format a rewritable disc when using it for the first time.

However, when data has been burned on the rewritable medium and there is no more space available, it is necessary to erase it, in order to be able to burn data again.

Under Nero Burning ROM

In the Recorder menu, use the Erase rewritable disc command. Nero then offers two options:

• Quick-erase rewritable disc, allowing you to quickly erase data and free up space. Nevertheless, it is possible with specialized tools to recover deleted data.
• Completely erase rewritable disc, allowing data to be securely erased in a much longer period of time. This method is recommended when the disc contains confidential data.
