deleting auto recovery files?

[koiflover]

Hi! 

I'm quite new to photoshop, and I encountered a problem. I use it at school and whenever I open it, it shows an old edit that I don't want to be there. I've tried deleting the file (on the computer) but it still opens it. It's an auto recovery file, how do I get rid of it once and for all? I believe its windows? My teacher doesn't know either. 

Many thanks, sorry if this was badly worded.

That happens when your computer crashes or shuts down irregularly. Recovery files are deleted in a normal shutdown.

You can manually delete the file. Look for a "PSAutoRecover" folder where you have your primary scratch disk. If you haven't specifically chosen a scratch disk location, it will be on the root of your C drive. Do a search.

As long as there is anything in this folder, it will open in Photoshop on next launch.
