kitekrazy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Here's another great tool for seeing what's taking up all the space on your drives: TreeSize Free And, my personal favorite for both making things run smoothly AND getting rid of tons of temp files: Glary Utilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 All my machines have hibernate turned off. It's pretty easy to do just run powercfg /h off from an elevated command prompt: windows key + X, then select Windows Power Shell (Admin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synkrotron Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I also have hibernate turned off, even on my two laptops. I prefer a full shut down every time. Not sure why... Reason lost in the anus of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
