Where does windows media center store the video from "live tv pause buffer"?

Question

Obviously every time I pause TV from WMC it will record and take space from my computer. I was just wondering where this file goes because I would like to clear as much space as I can.

By default, Vista stores the media player indexes at C:\Users\MCE\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Med... Player. Note that C:\Users\MCE\AppData is a hidden directory and you’ll need to set explorer to show hidden files before you can see it.

By default, Vista stores the recorded TV pause buffer as a (hidden) subdirectory named “TempRec” beneath “recorded TV”,
