Missing Temp Files ? Help Needed

Hello. I was in the middle of burning 600 Megs worth of mp3s onto my CD
Burner (Samsung SW408B) when the system froze. I rebooted and the files that
were in the middle of burning to CD are gone. I'm talking about when Windows
is about to transfer the files to CD, where it stores it on the hard drive
temporarily. I know they're still there because my hard drive is 600 Megs
short of space. I go to my F: (which is the CD burner) and no files are
there waiting to be transferred. Any ideas on how I could delete those
temporary files so that I can reclaim that space back on my HD? Appreciate
any help you could provide.

Btw, I was using Windows built in CD burning software. Also, can anyone
recommend any good, free CD burning software?

I have Windows XP Home SP2

Athlon 900 MHZ on an FIC Motherboard
512 RAM
SBLive Value Soundcard
Sony 52X CDROM (E:)
Samsung SW408B (F:)
 
The staging area for the files should be here:

"C:\Documents and Settings\{Your User ID}\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\CD Burning"
