HIBERFIL.SYS File

[ilyaz]

On my C drive, there is a Hiberfil.sys file about 1 GB. I understand that it
is a file for hibernation of my comp. But I do not use hibernation, I either
turn it off or keep running... Is it safe to delete this file? Do I just
delete it or there is some special procedure for file like this?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Control Panel> Power Options> Hibernate. Uncheck box that allows
hibernation. Click OK. If hiberfil.sys is still present at the next
startup, you can manually delete it.

To disable hibernation go to Control Pane and double click the
Power Options icon.
Click on the Hibernate tab.
Remove the check mark from the box next to "Enable
Hibernation".
Click OK.
