remove pagefile and hiberfil

[Kent McPherson]

I have my C drive partitioned into a large section and small section. I'm
trying to put my pagefile on the small partition and eliminate it from the C
partition. In the Virtual Memory settings, it says I have no pagefile on
the C drive. It shows I have it on my H drive. But JDiskReport shows a
1.5GB pagefile.sys on my C drive. How do I get rid of it? Can I get rid of
it?

JDiskReport also shows a hiberfil.sys file that is 1.2GB. My system is
always on and I don't put it into hibernate mode. Can I get rid of this file
as well somehow?

Open Windows Explorer and look for a file named pagefile.sys on your
C: drive that is 1.5 gb in size. You should be able to delete it.

JDiskReport also shows a hiberfil.sys file that is 1.2GB. My system is
always on and I don't put it into hibernate mode. Can I get rid of this file
as well somehow?

Open Control Panel - Power Options and go to the Hibernate tab. Make
sure the checkbox for "Enable hibernation" is cleared. Then you
shouyld be able to delete the file hiberfil.sys from drive C: using
Windows Explorer.

Good luck
