This is an old trick but still useful, may be it help someone save the hard-disk space. Hiberfil.sys is hibernation file that store whole Windows state, when hibernation in action. Its located in system drive (shortcut %systemdrive%) .
The size of file depends on total installed physical RAM, so it requires space in HDD as much your system RAM. But its too annoying we need to free space, so here is the solution.
Let’s do it-
1. Reduce size/Resize
Go to Run and type CMD and press Enter
POWERCFG -H -Size
Specifies the desired hiberfil.sys size in percentage of the total memory. The default size cannot be smaller than 50. This switch will also enable the hiberfil.sys automatically.
2. Remove hibernate
POWERCFG -H OFF
Disables the hibernate feature and removes hiberfil.sys
3. Re-enable hibernate feature
POWERCFG -H ON
Hope this may have helped someone. Thanks itsmywindows.com
