I just got a new disk manager which flags large, not recently accessed files.

It found "Photoshop Temp15234" which is a 100mb file last modifed July 2006.

As the file is on the drive used for PS’s ‘scratch disk’, I am wondering if is IS the PS ‘scratch disk’ – OR, as seems more likely, is it something that was left behind when PS crashed – since PS is NOT RUNNING now and I think that the ‘scratch disk’ file (unlike win’s ‘virtual RAM’ file) should automatically be removed when PS closes.

Thanks
(yes, I did look in FAQ & also searched B4 posting)

PS: CS2
OS: XPP/sp2

If Photoshop is not running then it has been left during an improper shut-down and can safely be deleted.

Thanks,

What I had done was rename it, and PS seemed to work fine.

Now and again, it is worth doing a system-wide search for .TMP files and have a good clear-out. Delete the lot of them!
