21. my wont show the large files??? yet my documents are taking up the most space i am so lost

22. For those that are confused: "Scratch disk" is the term MAC OC uses for where local photoshop files are stored. (In windows it's in C:files) Mac stores all the RAM filed together, this explains why other applications can take all the memory.. Leaving nothing left for PS. For this reason, by clearing storage you'll have scratch disk freed up 🙂

23. "don't have any programs open while you do this"
    if I could save and close photos I wouldn't have this problem…
