Formatting a Dvd-R

I tried burning an .iso image onto a DVD-R disc but it didn't burn correctly. And no matter how I go about erasing it's content I get a error that says the disc has a read-only file system. How would I go about formatting the disc to the original state (before anything was burned on it)?

DVD-R disc is only read for. Once information has been written on this you can't delete or re-write it.

Take a sharpie and black out the barcode in the center of the disk where it says something like dr-o12345678, enjoy 😉
