    How to efficiently manage a huge pagefil and hiberfil


    Hello,


    I'm on an HP Zbook mobile workstation with 1To of harddrive and 64Go of RAM win 10 pro. I just noticed today that my pagefil.sys is 67108864 Ko and my hiberfil.sis is 66985172 Ko. Both make already 127Go which is very big. I would like to know if :
    1- I can delete both to reclaim that space
    and then
    2- allocate them a more "reasonable" space to occupy something around 10-20 gigs each at most.


    If it's possible, could you please help me with the safest procedure?



    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Deleting Hiberfil & Pagefile

    Pagefile size depends on RAM, just find optimal value and stick to that.

    If you use SSD and want more free space then disable System Restore. It is far more efficient than disabling hiberfil

    After disabling hibernation hiberfil.sys gets deleted automatically.

    Deleting Hiberfil & Pagefile

    Howdy,

    So I have a 60gb SSD with Windows 7 and Office on it (all specs are listed <--- under my username). I have a 12gb pagefile and a 9gb hiberfil, is it possible to delete those or make it so that hiberfil at the very least is no longer created? I just want a little free space on there for future use.

    Thoughts?

    How to efficiently manage a huge pagefil and hiberfil

    Is there a wayto manage the hiberfile sys onthe hardrive?

    Hi,

    That actually is not all that excessive.. Your PageFile is also a bit on the small side..

    Mine are 12.5GB for the hiberfil and 16.5GB for the PageFile..
