Go to Radio Shack and ask for a bulk tape eraser. Or, the easy and free way is to rewind to the beginning, put your camera on record and keep the lens cap on. Leave it alone for the length of the tape.

Get a big magnet and rub it around on the tape case. Make sure you don't get too close to other tapes you don't want erased.
