    Huge pagefile


    In the recent past I had to overcome unexplained OS size fluctuations. Then yesterday I got one of those dreaded popups saying I was low on space.

    I discovered that I had a 16 gb pagefile. Never seen anything like this.

    My OS partition is 40 gb (on a ssd), with 16 gb ram, and if things are right, I have about 20 gb free space.

    My only theory is that I had download several 2 gb files yesterday, which took longer than expected. I have windows managing the page file, so maybe that's why the pagefile grew??

    I deleted the pagefile, and got the space back, but when I tried to reinstate the windows management, it immediately recreated the 16 gb pagefile.

    I would prefer having windows manage the pagefile,and I don't think it would be wise turn turn it of, from what I understand. I just wanna get it back to where it was before.

    :)
