  1. I need a command or program to delete files older than a specified range


    I tried to use ForCommand, but for some reason, want it does not seem to work. I need it to work over the LAN, I want to delete all video files from my CCTV system over 30 days old, as I back all of them up to an external HDD and the cloud, so I do not need to keep them on the local system. Is there a simple way to accomplish this? Thanks!

    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.
