I'm pretty sure you won't find a program that erases it seeing it's probably a cr/dr-r (writable). You have to buy new ones and they're not that expensive.

Also though, DVD-rw can be shitty if you keep rewriting, so I wouldn't advise getting them unless you have to rewrite stuff...And they're probably more expensive at that too.

Yea i just need them once and I wish I could just get some singles instead of a huge amount
but at the same time if i can buy in bulk it would be fine
