To erase data from a rewritable disc, obviously you need CD/DVD burning software installed on your system but Windows 7 give you a built-in option to erase rewritable CD or DVD which allows users to perform that task easily without the help of any third party application.
Step 1
Just insert CD/DVD in the disc drive, then open “My Computer” and under “Devices with Removable Storage“, right click on CD/DVD-RW Drive and click on Erase this disc
It’ll ask to start the wizard so just click Next
It will start erasing data from disc and complete the process just in few seconds

nice windows 7 tip
Windows 7 make it easy to erase data from rewritable dvd
i didn't get any option after right click on DVD writer. Please help me out.
i love windows 7
Unfortunately, when I click on the dvd icon the the window opens, it has no "Erase this disc", just format, then eject then copy, etc.
Why, oh why
i like windows 7
In Windows 7 when erasing a CD-RW disk, the application hangs in the "erasing files screen" after the green progress bar has moved fully to the right.
I cannot cancel the operation or close the program from the screen nor eject the disk. I can only retrieve the disk by a full re-start whereupon I discover that the original files were never erased.
Anyone got any ideas?
