How to erase a CD-RW
A CD-RW can be wiped and reused hundreds of times. cdBurner erases it — quick or full — from your browser so it's blank and ready again.
Step by step
Connect the burn agent
Open onlinecdburner.com and connect the burn agent.
Insert the rewritable disc
Put your CD-RW in the drive and select it.
Open the disc tools
Choose Erase from the disc actions.
Quick or full erase
Quick clears the table of contents in seconds; full wipes every sector. The disc is blank and reusable again.

Why cdBurner is different
Every other burner is a program you install. cdBurner isn't: it runs in your browser with one tiny background helper, and it's free.
- 100% free — no trial, no watermark, no nag screens.
- Private — files are written locally and never uploaded to a server.
- No bloatware — one small signed helper, not a heavy install.
- Built on Windows' native IMAPI2 engine, so your discs read everywhere.
