We have a system on our network that from time to time when working they are working in Photoshop they get an error that says "cannot perform operation because the scratch disks are full"

Any ideas on what that error means?

Think of "scratch" disk like swap file combined with backup files.

Basically, the allocated file space for backup copies of the images being edited is full.

This includes all options for undoing image edits.

You either need to allocate morespace, have fewer images open, or reduce the size of the active scratch file;
save edited file,
close the file,
re-open the edited image.
