I've read about this! It's actually going to continue to deteriorate, and eventually you won't even be able to boot your MacBook Pro anymore. At that point, it will be nothing more than a paperweight.
Lucky I found you first (or vice versa). I'll give you $200 to take it off your hands. I'm just feeling very generous tonight... |

Did you also "Empty the trash" after you deleted the files?

| Your "scratch disk" as stated by Photoshop is an area where Photoshop stores temporary files or bits of files as your working on them as long as you have PS open. It's kind of like a virtual memory. You can increase the size of your scratch disk by going to file/preferences. It's best to put the scratch disk on another hard drive than where Photoshop is located, but I doubt you have 2 drives in your Macbook. Try that, and then restart Photoshop to clear whatever it already has in there. |

| If you are trying to do a "crop" with a predetermined size (say 640 x 640) and you set the width and height at 640 but do not specify px (pixels) as the unit of measurement, it will default to in (inches). You will not have enough disk space to swap such a billboard sized file. I've had it happen a few times. |

Only defaults to inches if your rulers are set to inches. |

Which is one of the reasons I have my rulers set to pixels :-)
