Default how to delete a read-only file.

I can't delete anything on my CD! It says i cant delete them because they are
read-only files. When I try to delete "dallin" it says "Cannot delete dallin:
Files on this CD are read-only. You can still copy new files on to this
writable CD,which will replace files already on the disk." What do i do? I
tried clicking properties and the tools bar.

Please any help would be great.=)

Use your CD-burning software to delete the file.

CDs are read only media. You cannot delete from them. With rewritable CDs
you can add to them (until finalised) or erase completely. Write only CDs
are exactly that. Some rather naff software allows rewritable CDs to be used
like a floppy disc, but such software is notoriously unreliable and is best
avoided.

From Word ALWAYS read and write to the hard drive.
