However, some people have noticed the “scratch disks full” error message while using it. If you have also encountered it and have experienced difficulties due to it, don’t worry, since you could troubleshoot it. All you have to do is follow the instructions that we are offering in this article.
Let’s get started.
Solutions to Fix the Adobe Photoshop Scratch Disks Full Error
1. Removing Temporary and Cache Files
This error may appear when there are too many corrupt or useless files on a computer. Temporary and junk files on your computer can also interfere with the applications you have installed, involving Photoshop. Therefore you should first remove all these files on your computer using the built-in junk cleaners. Windows 10 comes with the Disk Cleanup utility, allowing users to remove junk, corrupt, and temporary files. Make users can download the CC Cleaner app to make this happen. Once you have removed all useless and temporary files from your computer, give your computer a reboot. Check and run the Photoshop software to check whether you have successfully resolved the error. It will also increase the free space on your computer storage and performance.
2. Using Photoshop’s Scratch Disks Option
Open your Photoshop utility on your computer, and then fix the errors using the settings. Since this error appears when there is a lack of storage on your computer, we are going to check the local storage location for Photoshop. So please navigate to the Photoshop application first and then select Edit. Go to Preferences, click Scratch Disks and then follow the instructions given below:
- Check which storage partition is selected.
- Check how much space is left in the selected drive.
- If the selected storage partition drive has less space, select another drive to provide Photoshop with more space.
- We advise you to select the D drive since it will have more space, and Photoshop will store data more effectively on it.
- Once you do that, make sure you save all settings.
- Restart your computer, and please reopen the Photoshop application.
Now the scratch disk full error message should disappear and should not appear again. We hope you have found this article informative and helpful. Thank you for visiting this website.
