Windows Vista

Hi,

Why does my C drive have a hybernate file (2GB file) when I never put my
computer into hybernate? How do I delete this file? I am running Vista.

Re: Windows Vista

Try it. It doesn't work. I have Vista not to hyvernate, and the file is
still there.

Re: Windows Vista

Silver hair, Yes you can delete the file using disk cleanup. You simply have
to click on the box next to the hibernation option.

Re: Windows Vista

The Vista Hibernation file is there in case you need to hibernate. Then it
is not nessecary to wait for Vista loading all files that is needed to
hibernate at the time you click hibernate. This file is aproximately the
same size as your pagefile.
