How to delete Photoshop cache or temporary files

[RedCarpet310]

How do I delete Photoshop cache or temporary files? Photoshop is filling up my C drive. I've changes the cache folder to another drive but I have to deal with the issue now before the other drive is filled up too.

Thank you.

Im having the same problem!

I have used my Drive D as scatch disk. and now it's full. there are even no files saved (seen) in my Drive D. I have tried to delete the temp files are suggested here but there seems no changes at all.

Is it safe to format the D partition?

If the disk is full, you need to clear out space. It's as simple as that. Or get a new and bigger drive.

Scratch disk has nothing to do with your saved files. Raster image editing moves massive amounts of data while you're working, much more than any RAM you may have installed, and it needs to go somewhere. So it's written to disk. This temporary working data is the scratch disk. If there is no space for Photoshop's scratch files, it can't operate or even open.

All history states for all open documents are written to the scratch file, so it will vastly exceed the nominal file sizes for the images you have open.

For casuual work on smallish files you may get away with, say, 50 GB free space. For more serious work, you'll need 500 GB or more.

Partitioning serves no purpose and is usually counter-productive. It's not recommended.

IF indeed, there aren't supposed to be any files on this drive, sure, you can reformat it. That may not 'fix' the issue where you may indeed need a much bigger and empty scratch disk as explained.
