Photoshop scratch disc full message error

[Ang]

Are scratch disk full messages a frequent problem in Photoshop and if so is there a way to avoid it and or fix it? 

[Damien Symonds]

Can you do this for me?

I have a Mac laptop running MacBook Pro/Mac OS Sonoma and Photoshop 2024. It is under 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 7.81GB free out of 494.38GB, and it runs a ?  graphics card. The last time I shut down was more than 2 days ago. I rarely run a cleanup program.

Holy shit.

This is bad.  You really can't run Photoshop without 32GB of RAM these days.

This is cata-bloody-strophic.  You have to get that figure up to at least 150GB, pronto.

Start by running CleanMyMac.

Then start purging and archiving.

How did you go, @Ang?

As of yesterday I only had 7% left of space on my computer and I've been working at it today so now I'm up to around 34% so far. Definitely a work in progress.

Good.
