✴️ Hiberfil.sys, pagefile.sys, and swapfile.sys are Windows system files that support two very important features: hibernation and virtual memory.

✴️ Removing hiberfil.sys, swapfile.sys, and pagefile.sys
To remove hiberfile.sys, turn off Hibernation and you can delete the file.

To remove swapfile.sys and/or pagefile.sys, turn off Virtual Memory on your system. The files may be removed automatically on reboot. Do this ONLY if you have enough RAM on your system. Alternatively, consider moving them to a different internal drive.
