Why do I get an error deleting a file or folder from my CD?
Document #11747e.html

When you try to delete a file or folder from CD-RW media, you may get one of the following error messages:

  • Error deleting file or folder

  • Cannot delete [filename]

  • Files on this CD-ROM drive are read-only

This happens because the disc has not been formatted. A disc must be formatted in order to remove single files or folders. You will need to reformat the CD-RW disc to prevent these errors from recurring.
