  1. Windows 10 hiberfil.sys


    Good day everyone,


    While attempting to free up some space on my computer I discovered I have a 13GB hibernation file. I do not use hibernation and simply power down my machine. My question is whether or not this file/function is used for some other purpose, or if it is safe to remove/disable hibernation if do not plan to hibernate my computer.

    :)

    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?

    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.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
