Scratch Disk

Every time I use Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, he says that my scratch disks are full. I read on the internet that unsolicited files are stored in an anonymous folder. Where can I remove that. I need storage space or I will not be able to work. Thank you!

Scratch Disk Errors The real problem I'm trying to solve is "scratch disk". Adobe won't let me run Photoshop because my scratch disk is full. Storage showed 3.5 gb available. Scratch disk shows 3.5GB available. I want to get it to at least 20gb free. I finally got storage to show 37gb free but Adobe error still shows my scratch disk at 3.5gb free. How do I get Scratch disk freed up if removing files doesn't move the needle?

SD Card files magically disappeared I was going through several of my SD and microSD cards deleting unnecessary files and I got to the last one - a 256GB SD card (Sandisk). I inserted it and the files came up just fine. I even opened a few. I look away for a few seconds and when i look up, all the files (which were just a handful) are gone. The drive shows up as empty, but the trash is full of THOUSANDS of files i definitely do not remember being on that disk, but on others. It's showing 138gb of space as used, and though I have not emptied out the trash, looking through the files and folders that are in the trash are definitely not the files I had on there. I'm in music production and i typically separate my disks according to the gear I'm using to create projects so it's even more odd that files (For example, Native Instruments software plugins on a disk used with Akai hardware) I'd have never even put on that disk show up in the trash when I insert it. I'm currently running DIsk Drill but so far it's only really looking like it's pull up the aforementioned trash files. I don't even know if anything can be done at this point but in all my years, this tops the list of "WEIRD" Even more odd is that the one file even remotely related to one of the files i'm looking for, is a plist file of the same name.

I think this is 2 different things.

What do you have set for a Scratch Disk? Hopefully an external drive...
