      What if Photoshop wont open because of that? Also your video is only for PC, not Mac...

    Thank you so much. Wish I would have looked this up yesterday. I deleted so many files off my hard drive that I didn't have to. Thank you again. You now have a new subscriber.

    After watching this video. I decided not to check another video on same issue because on TH-cam you watch like 2-3 or more to get your solutions. This video is quite easy to understand and solves all scratch disk issues that has been disturbing me

    THANK YOU!!!!! I can't tell you how many videos I started to watch to find out they person didn't know how to create a video- with sound... and the sound was so muffled and low I could not understand him- another was in another language!!!! You speak clearly and you know how to edit a video so the sound is GREAT! Thanks and thanks for the great info! Love you!

    Awesome video and lots of great tips! I'm still running into some issues. When I locate the tmp files and try to move them to the trash. It gives an error message saying "The operation can't be performed because the disk is full". Also, when I click the apple in the top left > about this mac > storage: it shows that I have ~228.78 GB available of 1.03 TB. Very confused. Any tips appreciated!

Any idea why that's happening? I've tried 3 different hard drives both SSD and HHD. I've also tried it in 3 different ports. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
