When the initial scanning is done, make sure you check the Clean Hibernation file option. http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...139d91033.mspx Charlie42 |

| | Re: How to delete hiberfil.sys Actually, you can do it the other way around. If you delete the hibernation file by selecting it in the Disk Cleanup (all users) list it will become unavailable in Power Options.

If you do not use Hibernation, then it is safe to delete. Shawn |
