DVD+RW disc

[George]

I tried to burn a project on a disc DVD+RW disc but it
crashed during the operation leaving 2.2GB (8 files) of
useless data on the disc. Should these be 'delete-able'?
I can select them in Windows, change them from Read Only,
but I get an error message on trying 'Delete' - do I have
to discard the disc?

Use your recording software's "erase" feature.

Just reformat the disk in your favorite DVD-burning program.

By the way, you did not try to make some kind of "Use your DVD drive
as a normal Harddisk" DVD I hope? These constructions can cause a lot
of problems. In my opinion it is much better to make normal disks ie.
burn the whole disk at once.

Depends what you wrote them with. But it may have been a mastering type
program like Nero, in which case you will need to use that program to
Erase the disk: in Nero this is (oddly) in the 'Recorder menu

way.
