Kartazion Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The hiberfil.sys file is used by Windows to store the current state of your computer (memory contents, open applications and documents, etc.) during hibernation. If you are not using hibernation, you can turn it off so that you can delete the hiberfil.sys file and reclaim all the space it was using. Note that the classic standby will then still be usable. To deactivate and delete the file in command prompt (admin) type: powercfg.exe /hibernate off To re-activate hibernation type: powercfg.exe /hibernate on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
