Using PowerISO, you can erase data on a rewritable compact disc. PowerISO can erase CDRW, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, and BD-RE discs. There are two erase methods, Quick ease and full erase. Full erase can wipe out all data on the disc, but will take longer time than quick erase.

Run PowerISO, and select "Tools > Erase Rewritable Disc" Menu.

PowerISO shows Erasing Compact Disc dialog.

Select the burning drive which holds the rewritable disc.

Select the erasing speed. The default speed is the maximum speed.

Select the erasing method (Quick Erase or Full Erase).

Click "Erase" to start erasing.
PowerISO will show an alert message box prompting you that all data in the disc will be erased. Click "OK" to confirm and start erasing. You can see the progress information during erasing. At the end of erasing, you should get the message, "Media erased successfully.".
