Using Nero Vision you can erase rewritable discs, i.e. discs with the RW specification, as long as your recorder supports this feature. Two erase methods are available for this purpose:
Quick erasing does not remove the data physically from the disc, but instead only makes it inaccessible by erasing the references to existing content. The data can be restored!
Full erasing removes the data from the disc by overwriting it with zeroes. The contents cannot be restored with conventional methods. Repeated full erasing increases the probability that third parties will not be able to reconstruct the contents.
To erase a rewritable disc, proceed as follows:
1.
In the Start screen, select the Disc Tools > Erase Disc selection entry.
à
The Erase Rewritable Disc window is opened. 

 

 
 
The Disc Tools options (Erase Disc, Disc Info and Finalize Disc) can also be started from the advanced area of the main window at any time.    
 
 
2.
In the top drop-down menu, select the burner in which the disc has been inserted.
3.
Select an erase method in the lower drop-down menu.
