I noticed two big (~ 2GB) files (hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys) at the root of my C: drive and wondered what they were. I searched on google and found some interesting links, but did not find any answer on this site. I guess it would be good to have this question answered here for future reference.
Here are my questions:
- What is the file hiberfil.sys for?
- What is the file pagefile.sys for?
- Can I safely delete these files?

3@Moab : Because these files take up a lot of space on my somewhat low-capacity hard drive and I was quite concerned about this. – marco-fiset – 2011-11-23T02:26:59.677
