p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

That's the Photoshop scratch disk. Scratch files are divided into 16 GB chunks.

These scratch files should be deleted when you close Photoshop. If they don't, your machine doesn't shut down properly. Orphaned scratch files can just be deleted with Photoshop closed. Don't delete them while Photoshop is still running.

The size of the scratch file here indicates that you're opening a very big document. Is that intentional? What are the pixel dimensions and number of layers? How many history states?
