How to delete hibernation file in Windows10? I need more space on drive...

Deleting Hiberfil & Pagefile

You would have to move your Page File to a different drive to get rid of that file, however you can make is smaller by adjusting the size in Windows.

To get rid of Hyberfile.sys you need to disable hibernation by doing the following:

• Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
• In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
• When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
• At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off, and then press ENTER.
• Type exit and then press ENTER to close the Command Prompt window

Then you can delete the hyberfile.sys file.

 

Hibernation and the Lack Thereof

Hi,

The hiberfil.sys takes too much of space on your hard drive if the hibernation is on. However, it's odd that even trying to turn the hibernation off using the command prompt, goes to no avail. We suggest that you turn off the Power management in Services
before deleting the file in the drive C. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• Press the Windows icon + R on your keyboard.
• Type in Services.msc.
• Look for Power.
• Right-click on it, then select Stop.
• Close the Dialog box, launch command prompt with admin rights.
• Type in powercfg -h off
• Close the command prompt, then try to delete the hiberfil.sys again.

Hibernating Windows10

Hello,

There are several factors to consider should your computer does not come out from Hibernate mode. One of those is too many unnecessary applications running on the background. To troubleshoot the issue, we suggest performing a clean boot to make sure that
your computer starts with its basic drivers. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• From Start, search for msconfig.
• Select System Configuration from the search results.
  
  
  
  
• On the Services tab of the System Configurationdialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable
  all.
  
  
  
  
• On the Startup tab of the System Configurationdialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
  
  
  
  
• On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.
  
  
  
  
• Close Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab of the System Configurationdialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.

Once done with the steps, let us know the results so we can assist you further.
