| 529804 | 2007-03-04 02:25:00 | After this months article in PCWORLD about efficiency of Windows and cleaning up my computer, I also see that the hyberfil file, stored in the rootdirectory of my C: drive eats more than 1 gig out of my resources. can I delete it? If yes, how to do it, and Windows will not let me delete it, saying it is an essential system file. Cheers Johan |

| 529805 | 2007-03-04 02:30:00 | Disable hibernation. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 529806 | 2007-03-04 02:43:00 | And if it is still there after disabling Hibernation and rebooting use SpaceMonger to delete it. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 529807 | 2007-03-04 06:01:00 | It shouldnt be there after you disable Hibernation, it'll be deleted immediately. Right-click on a blank part of your Desktop somewhere and click Properties Click on the Screensaver Tab Click on Power Management Click on Hibernation Un-tick "enable hibernation" Just going by memory, not using windows ATM... but thats roughly how you disable Hibernation and free up the space on your HDD :) |

| 529810 | 2007-03-07 05:24:00 | The size of the file depends on home much RAM you have ;) My file size is 2GB :p Though for me that is like peeing in a lake... |

It is humongus if you only have a few MB left and are trying to save some small files. I know because the C partition of my laptop is less than 1GB free and I am trying to do an update to the software but each time it fails because it is hard coded to unpack to C: first and then save some files there. This is an 11GB partition so not sure where all the space has gone. May have to do some digging when I get a chance as it should really only have about 5GB full as per my PC's. |
