Depends on whether you "finalized" it, I think. Try formatting it and see if will remove the existing data. If it will, you can use it again.

When you say format the disc? If so, do you do it the same way you would a floppy?

TIA

Use your burning software to reformat it. Nero or Roxio or whatever you're using.

Nero has a CDRW erase utility. You would use this if you burned the data to it instead of dragging and dropping files to a InCD formatted CDRW. If it's InCD formatted, just open it in Windows Explorer and delete the files - or use InCD and quick erase or reformat it.
