Deleting the Hibernation file hiberfil.sys in Windows 7

The hiberfil.sys file is used for hibernation in Windows. It does however take up a lot of space, and is of no benefit to those who don't hibernate there machines.
This video shows how to delete the file, and still use hibernation, if required.

It simply worked, thnx a lot.

turning it on instantly took up space on my c drive however. so i turned it off again obviously.

Thanks for the help!

The trick at the end doesn't work for me. The hibernation file is recreated immediately after turning it back on.

+Diganta Halder are you running with administrator privileges? You'll need to log on as an administrator or open the cmd window with administrator rights to perform the action successfully.
