• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

  SB

  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.

  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?

• fatal error restore file error data processing: 0xc000009a hiberfill.sys

  Recently, I restored my Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM laptop to its original factory condition.

  When I put my computer in hibernation mode and back I get a screen that says:

  status: 0xc0000009a

  News: fatal error occurred during the processing of restore data

  File: hiberfill.sys

  Ive done a search on the internet and it seems to be associated with Windows 7.

  My OS is windows 7 64 bit sp1.

  Delete the hiberfil.sys on drive C (can be hidden, you can havbe to show the files hidden by using the folder options)

  After removing restarted the PC, after using it for awhile hibernate the PC, see if it always generates this error after standby.

  If it isn't, an another factory restore.

• 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.

• How to reduce hiberfil.sys file size

  I want to reduce my default hiberfil.sys 75 to 50%.
  I am following the directions proposed in this document from Microsoft:
  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/gg463229
  I am logged in as an administrator and run the elevated command prompt, and I see C:\Windows\system32 >

  I type C:\>PowerCfg.exe HIBERNATE/Size 50

  I get access denied.
  I also tried this approach:
  http://askritesh.blogspot.com/2009/05/How-to-resize-hiberfilsys.html
  I am logged in as an administrator and run the elevated command prompt, and I see C:\Windows\system32 >

  I type Powercfg-h-50 or Powercfg-h 50

  I get State of Hibernation must be 'on' or 'off'.

  
  

  I tried to set UAC to zero. In this case I get hibernation is not recognized as internal or external, command an executable program or batch file.
  Could someone help me please. What I'm missing?

  Corresponds to the 450 GB external disk drive?

  Hiberfil.sys is by far the biggest piece on my drive.

  It seems to me that this statement made by you earlier could well be incorrect. I suspect that WinDirStat is not the size of the System Volume Information folder and if you added the reported space used for reported free disk space, you would discover that it is notably smaller than the size of the SSD. The difference is largely the space occupied by the System Volume Information folder.

  To determine the size of the folder System Volume Information in select start Windows 7, Control Panel, system, System Protection, click Configure under Protection settings. What is the figure of the current use? Often, this figure changes every day and can fluctuate up and down by significant amounts.

  You will be able to temporarily increase the amount of free space on the disk by removing the redundant system restore points, but the longer term solution lies in moving your SSD for your second disc records. If your second drive is external drives which limits what you can move. For example, you can move a swap file on a drive internal shipment but not on an external drive.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner also comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• 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.
