Whenever we work on Photoshop and use different commands, Photoshop keeps the complete record of all those commands in its memory in the form of separate files. When these files get corrupted, Photoshop starts to run sluggishly. In order to make it run faster you can use the command named Purge that is given inside the Edit Menu to delete those files.

| Purge (Undo) helps to make Photoshop run faster |
Whenever you put the pointer of your mouse on the option named Purge, there is appeared a menu containing four commands referred as Undo, Clipboard, Historiesand All. All these commands are used to delete corrupt files which makes Photoshop to run sluggishly.
As the topic is a bit lengthy as a whole, so I have decided to explain only the significance of the very first option (Undo) that is found inside the side menu of Purge with a very simple example while the rest of the options found inside the same menu, I intend to save for my oncoming posts.
Significance of Undo in the menu of Purge
This command is used to delete the record about the most recently applied command out of the computer’s memory that makes Undo command available inside the Edit Menu. In order to understand how that option works follow the instructions given below:
Create a new document with RGB color mode and white content specified.
 |
| Blank Photoshop document ready to be used |
Then, add a new layer by clicking the small icon that can be seen right beneath the layer palette and referred as Create a new Layer.
 |
| Totally invisible transparent layer is indicated by a thumbnail named Layer 1 in the layer palette |
Then fill either Background or Foreground color inside the selected layer by hitting CTRL + Backspace (to fill Background color inside the selected layer) or ALT + Backspace (to fill Foreground Color inside the selected layer).
 |
| Layer 1 no longer transparent |
After that, if you click the tab named Edit in the menu bar to open Edit Menu, you will find the command named Undo available there and ready to be used simply because you have not purged the record of the most recently applied command (Fill) so far .
 |
| Undo Fill Layer is available inside the Edit Menu |
In order to Purge that record, you are supposed to leave the command named Undo given inside the Edit Menu untouched but to click upon the option named Purge given inside the same menu. As soon as you will select that option, there will be appeared another menu containing four options referred as Undo, Clipboard, Histories and All as I have explained earlier. Out of those options, select Undo to delete all the record about the most recently applied command.

| Select the option referred as Undo to delete corrupted files |
As soon as you will select that command, there will be appeared a dialogue box named Adobe Photoshop. In that dialogue box you will see a question This cannot be undone. Continue?
 |
| Click OK to finish the task |
All you need to do here is to click the button named OKin the same dialogue box. As soon as you will click that button the dialogue box will get out of sight and the record about the most recently applied command will be deleted out of the computer’s memory.
After that, open the Edit Menu again and you will notice that the formerly available option Undo will no longer remain available inside that menu.

So that is how you can make Photoshop run faster by using the command named Undo given inside the menu of Purge. I am sure all my readers will find this post helpful, if so, kindly let me aware of that by subscribing your comments.
