You didn't say how you put the file on the CD - I.E. what software did you use? If the built in XP burner then this is from "Help and Support":
To erase files from a CD
1.. Open My Computer.
2.. Double-click the CD recording drive. Windows displays the files and folders located on the CD.
3.. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Erase this CD-RW. Windows displays the CD Writing Wizard.
4.. Follow the instructions in the wizard to delete the files on the CD-RW.
Notes
a.. To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
b.. Erasing the CD deletes all the files on the CD; you cannot select individual files to delete.
c.. Not all CDs are erasable. If the CD you are using is not erasable, for example, a CD-R, then this feature is not available.
If another mastering program you usually right click the drive and click format.

| Excellent! So, how, pray tell, does one do that - specifically, a complete
