Unless you need the disk space right away, restarting is not 
necessary as Unix will eventually free up the disk space; however 
Photoshop has always had a penchant for improperly using scratch 
space.  If disk space allows, I always create a "scratch" partition 
of 4 - 10 gb. I designate that for Adobe apps as Scratch disk and 
there is a piece of freeware called SwapCop that will allow you to 
switch your OSX swap file locations.
