I just found that, too. Not sure I'm willing to delete mine, but as I said, it's nowhere as large as Ryszard's.



The size of hiberfile.sys is directly related to how much RAM you have. I have 16 Gb.

I can not find that file on my 64 bit win7 system; yes I have hidden files turned off. I did disable hibernate in my bios so maybe it took it off then, don’t know.



Turns out I didn't actually have to delete it. Once I turned off Hibernation the file was simply gone. Between that and pagefile.sys, which was 12 Gb in size and which I moved to D:\, I now have 60% of C:\ available for programs.

But if I did have it I would not delete it either.



As I mentioned in the OP my main drive is an SSD (solid-state drive) which is only 60 Gb in size, so 'real estate' is pretty valuable. It's the only compromise I made on the system and should have been larger. I, however, would still delete an unneeded file of any significant size.
