I have a CDRW/DVD drive does have option for format or erase for CDRW disc.
Moreover the properties shows no free space. Any idea?

Thanks

Try using the software that came with your CD-RW drive (Nero or Easy CD or
?), not the built in software in Windows XP.

If you burned it using the inbuilt software, that is really a CD-R
method, in batches as ISO sessions. There is no space *within* such
sessions, though you can add more, and free space always shows as zero.

If you put in a CD-RW written by that (in sessions) a right click Menu
may invite you to select a session - but after that, at least, it should
provide an 'Erase this CD-RW' option there
