Cannot delete hiberfil.sys. No matter what.

• Windows 2008 SP2 running on a HP ProLiant DL160se - cannot delete hiberfil.sys

  First of all, it's a running AD AD 2008 R2 domain controller.

  It was built about 2 years ago.

  C: 30 GB disk

  100 GB drive D:

  Yes. I know that the C: drive is small but that's the way it was built and I have to live with it until the next refresh.

  Here's my problem.

  I'm only 400 MB of free space on the C: drive and am afraid that at the next round of patching this server will run out of space.

  We have a file hiberfil.sys on the C: drive, which is close to 5 GB in size.

  We don't Hibernate enabled nor do we ever want to use.

  I Googled it and I tried all the suggestions and nothing seems to me to delete the file.

  I don't have a HibernateEnabled registry setting anywhere in the registry.

  I don't have a setting of 'Sleep' in the Advanced Power Options.

  I tried the following, and I still couldn't remove:

  -powercfg/h off

  I also tried to enable it, but it came up saying that I don't have enough space to create the hibernation file. WTF?

  As much as I can say that we have no setting Hibernate anywhere in the OS so why this file exist and how can I get rid of him. ?

  Help! at the end of the roll.

• Need help, move, or delete the file hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys to reduce the free space in C: drive

  Original title: need assistance to move or delete hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys

  Is there anyway I can move or remove 2.43 GB hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys 4.39 GB in a defferent drive because I'm running out of space on my C: drive?  They take so much space.

  See this tutorial to move the swap file, however, I recommend have at least a 900MB

  pagefile on the C: drive to allow the creation of a dump in case of problems with the system file.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/132201-virtual-memory-paging-file-change.html

  To delete the hiberfil.sys, you must disable hibernation. It cannot be moved.

• I want to delete the hiberfil.sys to save disk space.

  original title: delete hiberfil.sys

  I want to delete the hiberfil.sys to save disk space. I'm doing this is because hybrnation is already disabled in the GUI. But this file again Aalst 2 GB of space. I tried running the command cmd and fled as administrator, powercfg - h. But I get a message that I don't have permission to enable or disable the Hiberntion. So please think about if I can remove this in my Windows 7, and in the future if I will I can use Hibernate?

  Demarrer start in Safe Mode, and then delete the file. Ensure that hibernation is not enabled.
  If you still can't delete it, use another bootable disk, and then delete it.

• Hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys - I can't delete

  Hello
  I have a computer laptop tecra s3 and after a fresh install of XP restore cd, I noticed that 4 GB of my C partition are 2 files:
  (1) C:\hiberfil.sys (around 2 GB)

  All my C partition is 12.5 GB because of the small HDD (80 GB), so I really need the extra space.
  Hiberfil I looked on the internet and this is the info of the RAM when I activate the Hibernate to close Notepad. I've ever used this function and in any case, it is disabled, there nothing on the hibernation in Control Panel-> Power Options, and when I want to activate stop-> hibernation, I can't because it is faded and I can't select it. So obviously this file I need, it's a hidden file system: how to remove it? I tried already the folder option-> view the file and I have uncheked Hide protected operating system files, but still I can not remove it.

  (2) C:\pagefile.sys (around 2 GB)
  This file is the virtual memory that XP uses of my HARD drive as ram memory, I currently have 2GB of RAM.
  If I reduce the amount of this virtual memory settings, what will happen to XP? He's going to become increasingly slow?
  This laptop is important because I use it on my work place, so... I really need to work properly :)

  Thank you, hope you have time for me soon :)

  If you disable Hibernation in the Power Options (and the Toshiba Power Saver), you should be able to delete that file. If you can't, try to delete it in Mode without failure. From the start to access the Windows boot to Windows Startup menu, press F8.

  Windows requires a swap file to work properly, so you should not delete the pagefile.sys file. If you do, it will be created again anyway.

  PS. SD cards are cheap these days, so you can use a 16 GB SD card to store your files if the HARD drive is running out of space.

  Use CCleaner (google is your friend) to delete unnecessary files from the HARD drive and clean the registry.

• Cannot depend on hibernation - hiberfil.sys mystical

  I have a Windows XP Home installed on E: drive where I can't activate Hibernate mode.
  It turns out that the e:\Hiberfil.sys file cannot be created with the error access denied.
  I have all permissions on the drive and there is no any *.sys file here.
  Here's what I have:
  E:\>dir /A *.sys
  Volume in drive E is SYSTEM
  Volume serial number is 8-420F 42D

  Directory of E:\

  File not found

  E:\>echo > pagefile.sys

  E:\>echo > hiberfil.sys
  Access is denied.

  E:\>dir /A *.sys
  Volume in drive E is SYSTEM
  Volume serial number is 8-420F 42D

  Directory of E:\

  02/10/10 10:34 13 pagefile.sys
  1 file (s) 13 bytes
  0 56,433,004,544 dir bytes free
  E:\>del pagefile.sys

  E:\>del hiberfil.sys
  E:\hiberfil.sys is not found

  E:\>dir /A *.sys
  Volume in drive E is SYSTEM
  Volume serial number is 8-420F 42D

  Directory of E:\

  File not found

  E:\ >

  How could it happen?

  OK, I managed to solve the problem.
  Using disk hex editor I changed the name of hiberfil.sys to hiberfil.syt in $MFT, then chkdsk some kind restored the file and changed Hibernate service its size in current memory of the PC. The file is now visible.
  I'll check if hibernation is actually at work.

• Cannot create because of hidden file hiberfil.sys.

  I can't activate hibernate on my Windows XP Home Edition because it is actually impossible to create the hiberfil.sys file. Any attempt to create the file cause error 'access denied '. I am an administrator on the computer and you can create any other file in the root directory of the system E: drive.
  Sort the list of files in the root directory, I think do not show the file. Any attempt to open the result file in 'access denied '.
  Cacls hiberfil.sys prints "the system cannot find the file specified."
  However, there are few programs that can see the file. For example, MyDefrag can show map disk file and the E:\hiberfil.sys file is considered to be a file system.
  What would you recommend to remove this invisible file?

• Cannot delete Apple Mail boxes on "on my Mac": what should I do?

  I tried to delete these boxes several times in many different ways, but no matter what I do, they just keep reappearing.

  I have 1) clicked and deleted several times; (2) I deleted their through Finder; (3) I've disabled my email accounts and tried to delete the boxes (of which some were successful with apparently); (4) I changed the behavior of the mailbox by the United Nations - by clicking on and then re - clicking deleted emails put in trash box (which some suggested online).

  I have no idea what to do next. I have discussions with Apple, but I thought I'd try here to find a solution to this aggravating problem.

  Thank you.

  OK, I've figured this out.

  When I imported the messages from Thunderbird to Apple Mail, I've initially diverted to mbox files. I then imported them in Apple Mail through the import of Apple Mail function. I made the mistake to include the mbox files related to IMAP accounts. After hours of trying to delete it, I tried the above suggestion. I deleted every internet account including iCloud. Then I deleted mailboxes mailbox imported that were related to IMAP accounts. It worked, and recreate the standalone mailboxes are now gone.

• Urgent! User SYS by given login no matter what password

  Hello
  
  Our oracle server SYS (as sysdba) user logon by given no matter what password.
  
  Shock us and must be stopped this issue immediately as the same danger.
  I modified the "SYS" user with the new password. Eventhough, always his login using any password.
  
  Kindly guide / help me solve this problem as soon as POSSIBLE.

  What is your version of the OS?
  What is your version of Oracle?

  In sqlnet.ora SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
  Change to:
  SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)

  My understanding of SYS Login is like this:

  If SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) and current OS user is in the ORA_DBA group in the operating system and THEN
  Anyuser will be connected to any password even with 'as sysdba.
  connect as sysdba anyuser/anyuser
  Connect sys/anypw as sysdba
  ENDIF
  If SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) THEN
  If remote_login_passwordfile = EXCLUSIVE THEN lock
  The user SYS will be never connected even with valid password
  Only sys-users will be authenticated by the file password that have sysdba priv.
  ENDIF
  If remote_login_passwordfile = SHARED THEN
  Only the SYS user will be connected with the valid password according to the password files.
  ENDIF

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:
