Emy Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I stopped the burning process after 5 seconds because I wanted to do something else with it. After that the disc still has some files inside it and I can't remove them because they are burned files which is insanely stupid. What do I do now? This happened only because of this ImgBurn app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 So you set it burning and then cancelled it once it had begun? If you were too late and the drive had already started burning, you're out of luck. Unless you happened to be using rewritable discs, a burnt disc stays burnt - that's the nature of burning optical discs. Don't blame the app for your own mistakes.

dbminter Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 If you did not use a DVD-RW, which you probably didn't because you said specifically you used DVD-R, then the files can't be erased. DVD-R is WORM media, which stands for Write Once, Read Many. So, you can only write to them once. IF you did use DVD-RW or even DVD+RW, you can just write to it again and those contents will be erased and replaced by the subsequent write.
