Every time I try and start photoshop on my device , I cannot start it due to it saying "scratch disks are full".

How do I fix this?

    Basically you were right TSN, I had to delete previous Windows installations because they took too much space on my main harddrive after the new Windows update, after deleting I had enough space free again and Photoshop didn't crash anymore. Thanks for the hint TSN!

    You should always keep an eye on disk space. Don't allow a system drive to fill up more than 60-70% or so - not just for Photoshop, but also for the general health of your system. If you're approaching 90% it's an emergency situation.

    The chances are that the message is right. How much space is free on your scratch disk? (On your system disk if don’t know what a scratch disk is)?
