- In this tutorial I will show you how to delete the pagefile.sys file in Windows 10.
To see what your current paging file settings are, follow these steps:
1. Open File Explorer and right-click Computer.
2. Select Properties.
3. Click on Advanced system settings
4. Click the Settings button under the Performance section and then click the Advanced tab. Your current settings for the Windows 10 paging file will be displayed under the Virtual Memory section. In the example, the paging file is currently set to be about 16 GB.
5. Click OK a couple of times to close those screens.
6. Start the Registry file tweaking process by typing "regedit" into the Cortana search box on the Windows 10 desktop.
7. Click the entry in the search results that refer to the Registry Editor program (regedit.exe).
8. With the app open, navigate to this specific key.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
9. In the right-hand window, double-click the ClearPageFileAtShutdown key and change the current default value from zero ("0") to "1"
From this point on, until you change it back to zero ("0"), the paging file will be completely deleted on shutdown and then restarted fresh each time you start Windows 10.

Pagefile is created for a purpose. I would say do not delete it specially if you use your PC all the time and you only have 8gb ram or less (even 16gb). Before deleting your pagefile, make sure first that you know what may happen after doing it. Pagefile acts as a virtual ram, so it is safe to say that it is your ram's assistant. If you use a lot of programs all at the same time and you only have a few ram ( or even a bigger ram but you use tons of pc apps at the same time, and there are bunch of background processes ) you will eventually run out of RAM. After running out of ram, your pagefile comes to rescue. The system will use it as you "other ram". So what will happen if you dont have it? out of memory errors, or worst, system crash. In addition to this, other important programs, JAVA for example, uses pagefile/swapfile to. Although JAVA has its own environment dictated by the size of its "heapsize", it still uses SWAPFILE/PAGEFILE. Many users who deleted PAGEFILE encountered "fatal out of memory errror .. out of swap space". Virtual Machines may also be affected. Again, the developers of windows did not end up being developers if they do not know what they are doing. They created the pagefile for a purpose. DO A RESEARCH FIRST before changing anything on your pc system specially if your not much of a "tech guy"
tip: Want to free up some disk space but afraid of deleting swapfile coz you only have a few ram?
1. Set pagefile to custom size and enter your desired pagefile size so it would not take up much space. Do not delete it so your ram can count on it in case of "memory needs"
2. edit the registry key under session manager to clear the swapfile during shutdown for some maintenance.
3. Make a research about what will happen if you delete your pagefile.
Also if i delete it can i make it apear back again
I Deleted it because Trojan replaced it and hides as Page sys file 💀
have you fixed this?
😊@@tirez.
Thanks dude, Deserves a sub man i was wondering what was a better way to clear pagefile but i still wanted it on. Cheers.
i left mine on, just did the regedit
When I did everything in this video, it happened that I could not play gta, or in fact fivem so GTA ROLEPLAY. When I open it it just closes right away
When I turned it off Chrome can no longer go to other tabs, which means that *pagefile.sys* is an important but space-taking file.
You rock man! Real genius
Thanks man you're a life saver
Dangit, even with the regediting, I still can't get rid of it. I have another drive I want it to be on
Now I can't run any of triple A games, perfect....
dont delete the page file, especially if you dont have a lot of ram, instead do the registery edit he did after as that will just clear it and not delete it.
