Mike,

Maybe thats just so. Every time PS is shut down abnormally (e.g. through a crash or Task Manager etc.) the content of the scratch is not cleared. And when PS is restarted it creates a scratch volume with a different name.
After a year and a half this build-up might fill an entire harddrive.

Reboot, search for *.tmp files and kill, kill!

You need more space on your scratch disk. Time to kill some files. (Though Rob’s suggestion to remove tmp files first is a start. PS needs a lot of space to operate.)

Yes. The extension .tmp indicates a temporary file which SHOULD have been deleted
