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.
