Hi
I think I deleted the files with Disk Cleanup, but I'm not sure -- lucky me I guess "Patrick Whittle" wrote: Hi, Why does my C drive have a hybernate file (2GB file) when I never put my computer into hybernate? How do I delete this file? I am running Vista.

Silver hair, Yes you can delete the file using disk cleanup. You simply have
to click on the box next to the hibernation option. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

The Vista Hibernation file is there in case you need to hibernate. Then it
is not nessecary to wait for Vista loading all files that is needed to hibernate at the time you click hibernate. This file is aproximately the same size as your pagefile.

Hi, Dag.
I missed the start of this thread, so maybe someone has already said this and it scrolled off the server, but... The hiberfil.sys file in WinXP and in Vista is just slightly larger than installed RAM. On my Vista Ultimate x64 with 3 GB RAM it is 3,220,746,240 bytes. The pagefile.sys size can vary; the old "rule of thumb" was 1.5 times the RAM, but that has been the subject of much debate; the system-managed size for my 3 GB Vista is 3,534,499,840 bytes. The rules have apparently changed for Win7. In the Win7 Ultimate x64 that I'm now running on the same hardware, still with 3 GB RAM, the pagefile.sys is 3,534,491,648 bytes, just 8 KB less than for Vista. But hiberfil.sys is only 2,415,558,656 bytes, which is much less than 3 GB. No, I don't know why, but maybe one of the Win7 gurus can enlighten us. Note that both pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys are always dated at the time of the last boot; none of their contents can be carried over from one session to the next because they are created anew at each restart. Hiberfil.sys must always be in the Root of the "boot volume" (which Win7 now calls the "OS volume", to get away from the suggestion that this is the partition used to boot the computer - see KB 314470); typically this means that it will be C:\hiberfil.sys, but if J: is your boot volume, then it will be J:\hiberfil.sys. The pagefile.sys is also on the boot volume by default, but we can change it to any volume that we choose by using the system properties settings. It can even be divided between two or more drives. Yes, you can get rid of hiberfil.sys, but not by simply deleting it. First you must turn off hibernation. Control Panel | Power Options, as I recall, but I'm not running Vista at the moment and it has been a while since I did this, so I'm not sure. THEN you can delete hiberfil.sys, but you may need to restart first. Remember that I'm an accountant, not a techie of any kind, so some of what I've learned from observation and experience may not be technically right, so corrections and clarifications are welcomed.
