I assume that you mean hiberfil.sys not hiberfile.sys?
You can get rid of hiberfil.sys, if you turn Hibernate off.
[[When your computer hibernates, it stores whatever it has in memory on your
hard disk and then shuts down.]]
The hibernation file (hiberfil.sys) is where this is stored. By default,
Hiberfil.sys is typically located in the root directory (C:\).
C:\hiberfil.sys
If hiberfil.sys is deleted, it will be created again on the next
hibernation. If Hibernation is turned off, hiberfil.sys will not be
recreated. If hibernation is enabled, you cannot delete hiberfil.sys.
hiberfil.sys is a Hidden System file.
If Hibernation is turned off, machine rebooted, hiberfil.sys will be
deleted.
The way to remove the file is to turn off the hibernation feature (by
default, hibernate is activated automatically when XP is installed).
[[The space that the hibernation file requires is directly related to the
amount of RAM that is in the computer. If you add more RAM, the Hiberfil.sys
file must grow to match the total RAM. Adding more RAM also automatically
increases the size of the Pagefile.sys file, which by default
is 1.5 times the amount of RAM. ]]

Leave pagefile.sys alone.
pagefile.sys is the Swap file.
[[Swap file
A file stored on the computer hard disk drive that is used as a temporary
location to store information that is not currently being used by the
computer RAM. By using a swap file a computer has the ability to use more
memory then what is physically installed in the computer. However, users who
are low on hard disk space may notice that the computer runs slower because
of the inability of the swap file to grow in size.
It is perfectly normal for the swap file or page file to grow in size,
sometimes growing several hundred megs in size.]]
