Thats a good link, but one needs to consider if the dvd-rw is formated to 
accept packet writing.  You might need to reformat the disc, in order to 
allow the removal of one file. :( 

It might just be easier just to burn another disc with the file removed, 
or use another media such as a flash drive. Got backup? I personally like 
a little redundancy, but what do I know.
