Photoshop autosave

Question

Hi, I am a uni student doing a large photoshop project!

My scratch disk keeps getting filled because my auto saves.

I have now turned my auto saves to every 30 mins. I wanted to know where are all my auto saves saving to?

I tried to find the file but I do not have one so I am confused as this is taking storage up on my laptop!

Please send help!

Thanks.

Auto saves are saved to your local hard disk under the same file name as the one you're working on. In the event of power outage or crash, Photoshop will attempt to recover from the last auto save.

Please ensure your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements to run Creative Cloud+ all other apps you intend to use. Photoshop is no fun on an underpowered laptop. Ample HD and RAM are essential.

Scratch disk can fill up when there's insufficient HD space and file is very complex with many layers, filters, etc...

Move data files to externals.
Uninstall non-essential software.
Use system disk utilities to clean & defragment primary hard drive.
Get a bigger computer.
