Monitoring drive space

 I noticed that recent Windows there is now a hibernate in the shutdowm. I have desktops so no need for that but I always disabled that in power management.  Odd that it is brought back .  Sometimes I fail to look at the drive space which seems to decrease.  Hiberfil.sys was taking over 20GB,  I found this solution, https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15140/what-is-hiberfil.sys-and-how-do-i-delete-it/

If you use Live which is in the program data folder, older versions will leave large chunks in its data folder.  I removed 10gb from Live 9.

With WinDirStat I have found two file on my Surface Pro. Both about 8gb in size, and both named "Unknown". I have tried to delete these files and can't seem to do it. I will have to check the hibernate status on here.
