You've got quite a few responses, but I thought I'd come and add to it all. I think Kate has the best answer here: you can take pictures off CD-RWs, but not CD-Rs. Unless of course you mean you want to copy the pictures to your computer, which is possible with both.

When you put the CD into your computer, a window should pop up asking what you want to do with the CD. If not, go to My Computer and double-click on the thumbnail representation of the CD. You should find yourself looking at all the files on the CD; from here you can delete, copy, or cut as you wish.

If you have a Mac, putting the CD in should put a shortcut button on your desktop. Double-click on that, and then you can do the same thing.

If you have a CD-RW (rewritable) than you can just put the cd into the computer and delete the items from the folder. But if you just have a CD-R you cannot add or delete items.

Unfortunately CDs aren't like flash drives or tapes; you can't just delete information off of them.

CDs are fairly inexpensive, so you could probably get a new one really cheap if you needed a blank one.

Sorry. =/

You can't. Once you burn items to a cd, it's there forever.
