Scratch Disks Always Full

I am beyond confused. I have spent months struggling with my scratch disks despite using a harddrive with over 700gbs of free space. I have tried deleting content off my actual laptop as well. I also have done the Edit -> Purge -> Selecting every option, and I can only assume that is not doing what it's supposed to because I only encounter the same errors.

Please show the scratch disk preferences.

it seems the file size is too big, 

 

1- check the file’s dimensions from  image -> image size.

 

2- make sure you have enough free disk space on your C drive

 

3- if you have more disk partitions on your machines (D, E, ..)  check the preferences settings and add them :

edit-> preferences-> performance : scratch disks

 

then restart photoshop.

Also, I've read the image measurements can cause this issue, but I'm fairly certain my project and all the images used are already in pixels.
