  This will give you more space.

  If your computer does not correctly him follow these steps:

  The single was is to back up all you produce, programs, data, but does not back up the WINDOWS. O file. You can delete the folder before making the back-up. Back to the top of your files before you begin reinstalling Windows, even if you're reinstalling Windows on a hard disk partition.

• Record in sys.aud$ can be deleted directly?

  We start with Oracle 11 g of August 2011, I am not aware of the audit trail is turned on by default. I'll try to set up the schedule jobs to purge the audit trail regularly, before that, I will not keep track more than a month ago. Can I just delete the record by timestamp? Is - this ntimestamp #?

  The last_arch_timestamp is used by the procedure, but must be set manually by the ADMINISTRATOR. You may have another procedure set it progressively.

• Bridge connects and downloads photo but can't delete?

  I use Adobe Bridge CC to download my pictures on my camera Sony Alpha 5000.

  It worked very well, but today, I connected via USB. The bridge connected to the camera, and I downloaded the images. I checked "delete images after the download area.

  However, after downloading, bridge could not delete images. He said something like "device not connected". I tried several times and it was the same, the camera is detected, the images can be downloaded, but not deleted. I don't think I performed settings on my camera say impossible to delete images remotely.

  No idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

  I tried to delete the pictures from my camera via my computer and a usb cable, and he refused. It seems that some cameras will not let you do this, which is really good. You really want to you make sure that your images are good and have been properly downloaded until they are removed from your card. I never use Bridge to download and always us the operating system. Then then I'm happy, I can remove them, most often by formatting the card in the camera, or from time to time using a card reader and the computer.

• Can I delete photos from my Mac WITHOUT removing them from shared albums?

  I only use photo program to create shared to my AppleTV photo albums and display on my iPhone. I keep all my original photos in Lightroom database. I also add photos to my albums shared from two separate Macs connected to the same account iCloud. I'm about to re - format one of my Mac and wonder if I can simply delete all the pictures I imported into the Photos on one of my Macs locally without affecting what is stored in albums shared in the iCloud photo library?

  Thank you.

  As long as you do not remove the shared Albums are under the shared section in the sidebar, that images can be removed from the library and stay in line in the shared album:

  

  

• Problem with Anti Virus Software is not not able to scan pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys

  Question:
  I ran a virus check and he warned me that the antivirus software cannot
  analyze these 2 files system. Can someone tell me if this is normal or not.
  Thank you

  What antivirus software do you use? pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys is the disc of Windows virtual memory and file restore hibernation file. Both are system files that should not be accessed by anything other than the operating system itself. Never underestimate your own stupidity.

• Why is pagefile.sys and hiberfile.sys so great?

  Hey on my computer the pagefile.sys and the hiberfile.sys are so great. The pagefile.sys is 3.92 GB and the hiberfile.sys is 2.94 GB. Why are they so big and is at - it a way to clean them?

  CK

  They are the same size as the amount of RAM on your computer.  If you NEVER use Hibernate you which can disable and size of swap file can be changed but I suggest unless you are very short on HD space, I would like to leave as default.

• 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.

• "hiberfile.sys" and "pagefile.sys".

  What are these files .sys they appeared suddenly in my hard drive C, containing windows. Their creation date, is even prior to my date of activation for windows. Should I keep or delete them, because they are massive files and take up close to 15 GB (hiberfil.sys = 6.3 GB and pagefile.sys = 8.00 GB) space on my HARD drive. Are these really important file or some kind of malware. Because they did not exist before. Kindly explain to me on these files and guide me on how to make...
  Thanks in advance.

  You need both.  They were always there you probably comes from their visible rendering.

  The amount of ram = pagefile.  For example 8gigs ram = page file 8 gig
  Hiberfil is necessary if ever 'Hibernate you' your computer.  It's abt 75% of the amount of ram you have

  If you are that tight on space you probably have a bigger HD.  A 64-bit win 8partition can run more than 60 gigs.

• Windows XP, the power option button is gray and does not work. The hiberfil.sys file occupies all the available space.

  I can't install the updates, especially antiviruse updates and everything is slow because the hiberfil.sys file is huge.  I can't Devil Hibernate because the power button is gray-no matter how or where I'm trying to open it.  Also at the same time, the sound disappeared and the sound card displays a yellow button.  Difficult to use the computer and dangerous online.   Help!

  Hi PeterGibbons,

  The Hiberfil.sys hidden system file is located in the folder root of the drive where the operating system is installed. The Windows Kernel Power Manager reserves this file when you install Windows. The size of this file is approximately equal to the amount of memory (RAM) is installed on the computer.

  The computer uses the file Hiberfil.sys to store a copy of the system hard disk memory when sleep hybrid setting is turned on. If this file is not present, the computer cannot Hibernate.

  to clean the space, you can run disk Cleanup Tool tool Description disk cleanup in Windows XP:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310312

  (b) also to remove all unwanted or unused computer programs.

• How can I move Hiberfil.sys?

  I would like to move Hiberfil.sys to another partition.  I'm running out of space and moving it would be easier and much less time than for re-size of all partitions.

  You can not.  Because the hibernation file must be readable by the bootstrapper, it must be stored on a specific sector of the hard disk on the primary system partition.  It cannot be moved.

• Webroot security found a file that is a threat to my system. Serial.sys Can I delete this file and download a new serial.sys or is this a file I do not have?

  My malwarebites program keeps blocking a signal out to various websites... When I installed and ran the program of webroot it detected the file serial.sys as a threat similar to my system.  I'm assuming that this file is probably infected.  I guess my first question is whether or not, it is a necessary file?

  If it is can I delete and download a new serial.sys?

  Thank you very much

  Hi John Sw140,.

  Microsoft Windows serial should be located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers . This file serial.sys is safe and should not be considered a threat to the computer. The serial.sys process is part of Microsoft Windows and should not be removed or prevented from loading at each loading Windows. This could cause errors or Windows to stop working.

• Hiberfil.sys and Windows 2008

  Hello

  Does anyone know if the hiberfil.sys file is required on a virtual Windows 2008 Server for any specific 'VM' related features?  For example it is necessary to do a Vmotion or create a snapshot?

  I found that if I "powercfg off h" I can remove this my template file, but I don't want to break some functionality but do.

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Does anyone know if the hiberfil.sys file is required on a virtual Windows 2008 Server for any specific 'VM' related features?  For example it is necessary to do a Vmotion or create a snapshot?

  No, not at all on the side of VMware.  You would only need to this feature, if you wanted to put into hibernation using native functions to its guest OS.

  I found that if I "powercfg off h" I can remove this my template file, but I don't want to break some functionality but do.

  I do this procedure for all models of Windows 2008 I.

  Good luck!

• 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

  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.
