in plain english

This repository offers a Windows tool that aims to fix the scratch disk full error in Adobe Photoshop, a problem that stops Photoshop from opening, saving, or running properly because the drive it uses for temporary working space during editing has run out of space. According to the README, the tool works by clearing Photoshop's temporary files, automatically switching the scratch disk setting to whichever drive on your computer has the most free space, cleaning Windows temporary files and the recycle bin to free additional space, and resetting Photoshop's preferences if corrupted settings are the underlying cause. It also claims to check for space that Windows may have hidden or reserved for system use. The download is provided as a password protected zip file from the project's Releases page or an external link, rather than as source code you can build yourself. The instructions ask you to run the downloaded executable as an administrator, and note that if your antivirus software flags or blocks the file, you should add an exception or turn off real time protection, describing this as a false positive. The README states the tool is meant for Windows 10 and 11 with any recent version of Photoshop, and includes a frequently asked questions section answering common variations of the scratch disk error, along with reassurance that it does not touch your actual project files, only temporary files and preferences. Because this project distributes a compiled executable rather than readable source code and specifically instructs users to disable their antivirus protection to run it, anyone considering it should treat those instructions with caution and verify the tool independently before running it with administrator rights.
