On my machine, I can find them in:
"%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\JMapViewerTiles_%USERNAME%\Mapnik"

The way the tiles are stored (all in a flat dir) makes any file 
operations in the Windows Explorer (in XP) almost impossible, because it 
incurs very long delays in processing the dir.

Mine a few weeks after clearing: 41877 files, 174700223 bytes

Fortunately, clearing them from the command prompt is still fast. I 
wonder why they cannot be stored one dir per zoom, or in another hashing 
format.
