Cannot find CS6 autorecovery file to remove, keeps opening on launch

[alleycat1981]

I need to delete an AutoRecovery file (.psb) in CS6, it keeps opening on launch. I can't find it on my computer to save my life. I have tried saving the file in various places to see if it takes care of it and it does not. Apparently, it is supposed to be in:

Mac HD/users/me/library/application support/Adobe/Photoshop CS6/Autorecovery

There is not an AutoRecovery folder or .psb file anywhere to be seen in the Photoshop or Adobe library folders, and I have looked everywhere. I have a brand new imac w/ OS x. I have tried searching everywhere for the file and folder, even in places that make no sense. I have searched my entire computer, even visually looking in every folder.

I have read a few message boards and apparently the file should be where it is supposed to be (file path above) and deleting it will solve this issue, but I cannot find it.

Help!

Right click on the file name tab, reveal in finder, delete file from finder window. You aren't deleting the file, you are deleting the file that has been duplicated to the recovery folder.

For recovery file (.psb) location u have to unhide folder

Hi alleycat1981,

I was looking for the same solution and came across your post. I didn't find the solution I need here. However, while I was searching I found a way to go about myself. Here it goes.

With the autosave file still openning, you could go to the file tab--> save as, you will see where the temp file is (however you won't find it in your Finder). You could actually delete the whole "autosave" folder where it is located right in the "save as" window. Then you could cancel the save action. Congratulations! You successfully tricked it! 

It worked for me. I hope it does the same for you!
