Deleting pagefile.sys???

I keep getting this message saying I'm low on virtual memory. I read all of the posts about how to go and select no paging file and reboot, etc. Then it says to delete anything w/ pagefile.sys on any of the directories. How do I do that? I tried typing in c:/pagefile.sys and got nothing. I wanted to try this to get my prob. fixed w/ the virtual memory. Then the posts say to go back to system settings and reset the page file. How do I delete it? Where/what do I do?

Windows Explorer/Navigate to C:\pagefile.sys. It will be listed in the
right pane, last.

This is a hidden file. Enable the correct viewing settings via Folder
Options.

the page file is a 'superhidden' file - you need to have Folder Options
- View set to show Hidden files, and *not* Hide Protected mode ones

Aside from that, read up my page at www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm
