Here's where Photoshop's temp files are kept on the Mac: macos - How to recover unsaved PSD file on MacOSX - Super User

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop <version>/AutoRecover

When you close Photoshop, they are gone.

hi

i guess i was not clear

first  file save option -> automacly save recovery information  every x minutes is disabled

i 'm talking about scratch disks

i have 2 ssd ( 2 solid state disks  )

in the first disk i have sierra and photoshop , lightroom and bridge

the second ssd i use for scratch disk

well in the photoshop cc option in the scratch disk i have selected the second ssd (it's almost empty)

run photoshop cc , and while photoshop was running with finder i gave a lot to the second ssd , there is nothing

Maybe the scratch file is hidden, or is deleted. (On a Mac, an app can delete a file it is using, and it goes away when the app quits; this is very useful because it is certain to be cleaned up).

i kept photoshop running , the point is that i bought a second ssd only for scratch

and i have used an utility to show me the hidden files

i can't find any file create by photoshop cc 2015 & 2018

As I said you might not find them. Why not just monitor free space to see if it is being used up.

Hi

may i know if you are a mac user?

i can't believe that nobody knows where does it store the scratch disk on osx

thanks

hi

the point again is thay i spent money for this new ssd

maybe an adobe team developer could answer

You can see the hidden files on your ssd by using Text Edit, clicking File>Open then navigate to the ssd and press Shift+Command+.

That's Shift+Command+Period

after a few seconds all the hidden files should appear.

Hopefully somewhere is a Photoshop Temp file with a bunch of numbers after it like

Photoshop Temp432977

hi

i did it , can't find any photoshop temp* files

have you tried it? have you find them? can you post a screenshots please?

i have even used easyfind

thanks

that's my scratch disk

[Jeff Arola]

Did you open the TemporaryItems folder?

[Jeff Arola]

I forgot to add you need to have photoshop running when you look for it Scratch Disk file.

When you quit photoshop, the Scratch Disk file gets deleted.

[JohnVo]

hi

i can not open that folder

but can you check on your mac and tell me please where does it save scratch files?

yes i know i need to keep photoshop open and running

thanks

Hi Jeff

because i guess there is a bug or in sierra or photoshop cc, i have monitor with DriveDx (it's a smart program) and at every time i run photoshop , under total write ,there is 1gb more

thanks
