Hello, I have a 120GB (111 according to Windows) SSD and hiberfil.sys takes up more than 15GB. I wanted to know how to delete or disable it. Thank you in advance.

Hello, for Windows 8.1, click on the command prompt in administrator mode using the shortcut keys [Windows + X], then in the command prompt, simply enter the command: powercfg.exe /hibernate off
This command disables hybrid sleep mode and removes hiberfil.sys! Quite convenient for SSDs.
Restart, and you're done!
