How do I delete all the files from my DVD?

[bodley]

I have a Handycam DCR-DVD150E.

I have copied all my video  files to my Windows 7 PC using PMD. No problem.

Now I want to delete all the files  on the camera's DVD but it will not let me do it.

It will not me even delete the latest video; just error messages.

I have spent an hour using the operating guide without sucess.

Can I remove the DVD and delete the files on my desktop?

What sort of disc are you using?

If you are using rewritable DVD-RW, try formatting the disc in the camcorder: -

With the AC Adapter connected HOME -> MANAGE MEDIA -> MEDIA FORMAT -> DISC

Manual attached: -

DVD-RW.

Thank you. I thought  a re-format might be needed; if a bit drastic!

Clever of it not to lose the date and time.

That's my manual.
