Critically low disk space warning. -Change the location of file / folder to avoid?

This critical warning about low space on my C (windows) drive pops up.
The Topaz AI program is not installed C, it is on a different drive, which has plenty of free space.
Which is the workspace file or folder on the C drive which is triggering this message, and could its location be changed to a different drive with more space?
I know the warning message can be turned off in settings, but I guess that low space affects performance.
My C drive is too small, and I have cleaned and deleted just about everything possible.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello.
Thank you for your reply. The software runs fine, and there is no hardware problem except than my Windows C drive is too small and running out of free space, Causing the Critically low disk space warning. The proper solution is a larger SSD, but I’m looking for a workaround for now.

Photo AI is installed on a different drive with more free space and I was asking if there is any way to change the location of the program workspace to a different drive.
It would be good if you could add the option to choose the location of the scratch files in the preferences, or have the choice at installation like Photoshop does.
What do you think?

Best wishes
Terry

We appreciate your feedback and the idea of being able to choose the location of scratch files or the program workspace during installation or through the preferences. This could certainly be a useful feature for users with limited space on their primary drive.

I’ll make sure to pass this along to the development team for consideration in future updates. We always value user input as it helps us improve the software.

Thanks for your reply.
Choosing in options would make the most sense, since it would allow a user to make a change later after installation if necessary.

What is the path for scratch space, particularly on Windows? At one point I had moved the \Users directory to my larger d: for similar reasons (i.e., all of appdata was on d:). Likewise it’s easy enough to set the temp/tmp env to point somewhere that has a lot of space. I looked in the registry but didn’t see anything obvious relating to scratch space.

What is the path? That’s a very good question. Can any Topaz folks give the answer?
