Re: Scratch Disk Full

[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Adobe Photoshop Talk ] [ FAQ ]

Posted by I have NO idea what a scratch disk is. My adobe photo software will not allow me to do anything. A dialog box always comes up, prompting me that my scratch disk is full, but I have no idea what it is or how to clean it up. Please HELP? on January 08, 2001 at 20:09:00:

: In the meantime, or if the scratch disk is full &
: you are about to lose work because the action you

: can try this trick. It has worked for us. Create
: a new file (say 3 pixels by 3 pixels)and close out
: the file without doing anything else. Apparently,
: this will clear the PhotoShop cache, which may give
: you enough space to complete the operation at hand.
