RE: Decrease size of hiberfil.sys?
I think you are confusing hibernation where windows put the contents of the RAM on disk for a fast reboot with pagefile which windows uses as a swap file.

You can decrease the pagefile size by going to System Properties (WinKey + Pause/Break) and then the tab advanced then click Settings under the Effects heading and go to the advanced tab and on the bottom click the button that says Edit, here you can change size and location of the swap file (pagefile)

EDIT: Nevermind, I read the whole thread again and found my own 1 GB hibernation file :P

I don't know how to make that go away :P

Besides it's only 1 GB...

hiberfil.sys is the file used for hybernation, but what is the point of it being so huge when i'm not using 100% ram? since it stores everything in your ram it doesnt need to be full capacity. So can I decrease its size? and dont suggest disabling hybernation because i use it, even if its not alot.

Yeah, but that's not an option if the feature is used ;)
