Troubleshoot Is there a possible way to delete data off a DVD-R

[RevolutionSphere]

I've been searching the internet for awhile now and it seems you cannot delete data off a DVD-R.

Just wondering is there a third party software to do this and is it safe?

If it's DVD RW yes, but if it is DVD R no. Main reason is because it's read only, and everything written on that dvd cannot be deleted.

Hello. If it is a DVD-R, it's not possible due to the pshysical characteristics of the disc. But if your DVD is a DVD-rw (rewritable), you can do It with any burning software.

Ok, thanks for the help. Its safe to assume that I'll have to buy some more discs at some point.

only way to get rid of data on DVD-R is to basically destroy the disk but i dnt think you wanna do that, you could try east tec eraser that sanitises data al lthe way upto the super paranoid 35 pass guttman
