When the option is set to "Use Overwriteable media in the target media set before scratch" Backup Exec will reuse BKF files in the media set before it will create new ones
When set to "Use scratch media before Overwriteable", it will create new BKF files until there is no longer space available, then start reusing the oldest BKF files So you need to select this option
You will need to expire the data currently on the disk in order to overwrite it. The easiest way would probably be to set the OPP for that media set to 5 min for the first run of all Overwriteable jobs, and then change it to whatever retention you need after the first job has completed
