Hello good, I acquired a new Lenovo computer, and I can't use the photoshop application, because every time I open it, or export an image, my storage fills up with "temporary files" (my cache memory fills up), I've been with this problem for a few weeks, I called a technician and he didn't know how to configure it. (as soon as I close the app those files disappear, but it doesn't allow me to use the app)

As pointed out by @Bojan Živković11378569 , you need a much a bigger hard drive. You should ideally have several hundreds of gigabytes free hard disk space for the scratch disk.

You have also created a gigantic file – 127,559 x 159,449 pixels – which causes Photoshop to reserve 76 GB of scratch disk space. That's almost one third of your hard drives's capacity.

If you were to print this file at 300 ppi (which is equivalent to 118.11 ppcm) the print would be 10.8 x 13.5 meters. (425 x 531 inches)

Understanding how digital images work will make it a lot easier to use Photoshop.

Having only one disk drive with a total of 240GB, of which 98% is in use, is indeed the issue. Photoshop requires what is known as a scratch disk to save temporary files; the larger, the better. It is recommended to have 500GB to 1TB of free space on a fast solid state drive or SSD.
