Scratch disc is full

Almost every time I startup Photoshop I get an error which says my scratch disc is full. The question is how does one empty an existing scratch disc? None of the manuals seem to cover this. Any help would be most appreciated

I got this from a Photoshop forum:

Photoshop uses areas of your hard drive as extra memory i.e. it writes and reads information to these areas.
If your hard drive is full, then Photoshop can not write to these areas.
If you have a second drive, nominate it as a scratch disk using Preferences> Scratch Disk.
If you do not have an additional disk, you will need to free up disk space by deleting files from your hard drive.
