My CD does not allow me to delete individual files that I have written on it. It says it is read-only. How do I change this?

Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the ability to delete individual files from a CD-RW, specifically addressing issues related to the read-only status of the disc and the requirements for deleting files. Participants explore the conditions under which files can be deleted and the necessary modes for writing to the disc.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant states that if the CD is read-only, individual files cannot be deleted, as the session has already been closed.
- Another participant notes that the CD-RW is re-writable but suggests that it only allows for deleting all files at once, not individually.
- Some participants propose that the disc must be written in 'multisession' mode to enable the deletion of individual files.
- A later reply asks how to access the 'multisession' mode for writing to the disc.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the ability to delete individual files from a CD-RW, with some asserting that it is not possible unless certain conditions are met, while others suggest potential solutions involving multisession writing.
Contextual Notes
There is uncertainty regarding the specific steps to access multisession mode and the implications of the read-only status on file deletion.
