Temp files folder full of ps files

[Michele5F92]

Hi,

I have Photoshop 22.3.1 installed and is impossible to work because is saturating the RAM and the scratch disk with huge temp files even if my ps document is a black page. 
Can you fix this? The legacy options is not available anymore and was the only workaround with previous versions.

My laptop is an Omen with windows 10, 24 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and Nvidia RTX 2060 graphic card

Thanks for the support

You can, of course, control how much RAM Photoshop uses via Ctrl/Cmd + K (Preferences) >  Performance. Not sure what's going on with the temp files. A large, blank document can easily top 1 GB off the bat if it's high-DPI, large dimensions and 16-bit color, though.

I ve already set the RAM from the performance menu but that is still not working. The files are small 72dpi and 8 bit colors but ps is creating temp files that are fully occupying my 500GB ssd. The ps files are shared on Google drive could be that the problem?

I wouldn't think so; if the PSDs are just being uploaded and downloaded at will from Drive, it shouldn't be a problem.

When creating new documents saved locally, does the problem still occur?

Hi WarUnicorn,

the problem doesn't seem to occurr with local saved files

I do know that Photoshop does *not* like working on documents remotely. (e.g., Documents on network-attached storage.) See this official Adobe help document:
