Photoshop CS3 scratch file location

[hdsalinas]

Hi,

In windows, Photoshop used to create a scratch disk file every time you opened a new file. When you would quit PS, the file would get deleted. But sometimes PS got stuck (or windows) and you had to ctrl-alt-del and close PS. When this happened the temp scratch disk would not get erased and evetually these files would add up.

I would like to know where photoshop stores this file by default in Leopard so that I can check if there are any fles using up space there.

thanks

Location of Photoshop temp files on OS X

They live in /private/var/tmp/folders.UID/Cleanup At Startup where UID is the number that your login is associated with. To find your number, log in to Terminal and type:

id

Then you can see what you have in there, for example:

ls -l /private/var/tmp/folders.501/Cleanup\ At\ Startup/

Should show a file with a name similar to Photoshop Temp5103692348

Anyone care to update this old thread and tell me where this file is located,

10.6.8
Photoshop CS6

Scratch disk has been moved to another HDD (DATA)


EDIT>>>>DOH...I have answered it myself...by using the Finder and looking on the correct disk

I had scratch disk to "User Data' HDD...and was searching 'DATA' HDD

For others future reference it is
/PSAutoRecover/username/Adobe PhotoshopCS6xxxxxxxxxxxxx

where the x's are a string of numbers
