Windows 10: Files ready to be written to the disc

I "successfully burned" some music files to a CD using Media Player.


1: BUT when I tried playing it my Pioneer CD player said "there was no disc"

2: I WAS able to play the music on my computer using VLC

3: I checked the Properties of the this CD and found the music files listed --- AND another entry " files ready to be written to the disc ---desktop.ini


IS there some way to get this done or is the disc wasted? I think that another disc-burning software that was on my computer must have interfered with the process. I HAVE deleted that software so hopefully I won't have the problem in the future but I would like to rescue the disc if I can.

Remove files from "Files Ready to be written to the disc" list.

I want to remove a large number of files from the list "Files ready to be written to the disk" that comes up when I select my RW drive. I never burned a disc from this list.
All I see when I right click on any or all files that might work is "delete", but when I left click that, it appears that the files are being deleted from my computer. This is NOT what I want to do.
How can I just delete the files from the list, so I can burn something else?

 

Files waiting to be written to disc

Hi,

The Files waiting to be written to disc error occurs when the files that you're trying to burn are accidentally placed on the driver that is used by the disc burner, or when attempting to burn a disc fails. To resolve this, we suggest
that you delete the temporary files to be burned as these files could be conflicting the process of burning the files that you want.

Here are the steps:

• Open Run by pressing the Windows key + R simultaneously.
• Type shell:cd burning, and then press Enter
  to open the Temporary Burn Folder.
• Delete all the files in the Temporary Burn Folder folder.
• Restart the PC.
• Attempt to finish burning the CD.

Note: In the event that some files in Temporary Burn folder won't delete, restart the PC, and then try the procedure again.
