Erasing a CD

Awhile ago, I took a CD-RW from Memorex and put music on to it. It worked fine. I decided to take the music off, so I put it in my computer to erase the files, they were all in a read-only .cda format, so I can't erase the CD. What can I do to erase it?

select the files and right click > proporties under Attibutes uncheck Read-only, click Apply.

When I do that it says access is denied.

These are on a Cd, not in a folder, so I don't know if that will work.

If works for files, any files.

Yes, but there was never anything that said "Erase this CD-RW"
