OPTION ONE:
From Computer Window
1. Open the Start menu, and click on the Computer button.

2. Right click on the CD or DVD drive and click on Delete temporary files.

3. Click on Yes to confirm deletion.

OPTION TWO:
From the Temporary Burn Folder
1. Open the Start Menu.
A) In the search line, type shell:cd burning and press Enter. (See screenshot below)

B) Go to step 3.
OR

2. Open Folder Options, and Select (dot) Show hidden files and folders.
A) In Windows Explorer, navigate to: (See screenshot below)
C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary Burn Folder
3. Delete the entire contents in the Temporary Burn Folder. (See screenshot below)
NOTE: Everything in this folder is waiting to be burned to disc. In this example, I have the entire contents of the Program Files folder waiting to be burned to disc that needs to be deleted to stop that pesky You have files waiting to be burned to disc message.
