Question

disk space restriction issues with photoshop v26

creative explorer · Accepted Answer

@steavonh9793487 you're getting "disk space restriction" issues with Photoshop v26 — double check you have ample free space on the drive(s) designated as Photoshop's scratch disk(s). Go to Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks. Have at least 50-100 GB (or more for large files) free on the fastest drive you have designated as a scratch disk. Also check your main drive for overall free space. Windows and macOS need room to breathe and create their own temporary files. If needed, regular purge Photoshop's internal caches via Edit > Purge > All. Hopefully that helps
