Hi there, thank you for your question! Deleting all data in the temp folder can free up space without affecting personal data, as it typically holds temporary files from apps and updates that are generally safe to remove. However, if applications are open while you delete temp files, some may malfunction, especially if they’re actively using those files, so it’s best to close all apps first. Some files may not delete if they’re in use by the system, in which case you’ll get an error and can skip them. Most applications and the operating system will regenerate necessary temporary files automatically, so deleting temp files rarely causes lasting issues. Using tools like Windows Disk Cleanup can help safely automate this process.
Thank you! FYI, in the 2025 Photoshop version, scratch disk is located on the top left corner "Photoshop 2025" --> drop down menu --> settings
THANK YOU. YOUR INFO WAS SO HELPFUL
I've tried all this begore....I don't even have 'photoshop temp'....
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DELETE ALL THE DATE IN THE TEMP FILE? I MEAN NOT ONLY PHOTOSHOP ONES, IN ORDER TO CREATE SOME MORE SPACE..?
