You can't erase a CD-R.
If you are worried about securely getting rid of the data on a CD-R, it is best to destroy the disk
Some of the better paper shredders have a small slot so you can shred the disk.
If shredding is not possible, place the disk inside something to prevent fragments from flying such as a terrycloth towel and break the disk into several pieces.
BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS doing this. Fragments my fly so eye protection is recommended. Also, the fragments may be sharp.

CD-R's can purely be written to as quickly as, so there is not any benefit to "erasing" the CD. once you're finding to smash the techniques on the CD the two bodily smash the cd, or Plextor has introduced achronic which will smash the techniques on cd's by ability of a laser.

on a cd-r u cant erase the contents on it, this can only be done using cdr(w), since the w stands for re-writeable if its just r means once written not removed.

It cant be erased!
You have to have CD-RW to do it and the best softwares are CloneCD and Nero!

Take a magnet to it. You need a CD-RW if you want to re-write stuff.
