Every time you put your Windows Vista loaded computer, into hibernation, it creates a file called ‘hiberfil.sys’. This file uses your entire physical memory and grows its size, every time you hibernate your system. Hence you may want to delete it to free up some hard drive space.
Follow this procedure to delete this file.
2. You would be prompted to choose the drive you want to clean up. Then select the drive in which Windows Vista is installed and press OK.
3. Disk Cleanup will start scanning the hard drive and present you with a list of options.
4. Check "Hibernation File Cleaner", and then press OK.
5. When asked "Are you sure you want to permanently delete these files?" click on the Delete Files button.
You will end up with some more free disk space.
