Reclaim 10GB+ on Windows 10/11: Delete Hiberfil.sys Easily!

[@pranavakshit]

I love the hibernate feature. It saves battery in a large amount compared to the sleep mode.

[@TechWise2022]

Agree! Hibernate might save battery. But if you need more space, deleting hiberfil.sys can help. Plus, if you have an SSD, it won't make a big difference in battery life anyway. 😊

EE here. The energy saving is marginally at best. Laptops specially, don't use much energy to preserve the data on the RAM.

Alternatively you can open CMD as admin (Open your startbar, type CMD in search bar, Select open as Admin,) then in the CMD Prompt powercfg.exe -h off, Found this out by researching if deleting a .sys file I forgotten about was safe. It deleted the file on my machine, and cleaned up 13GB

No luck here, I'm already on a Xeon CPU (which does not support hibernation).

The hiberfil.sys file size in Windows 11 varies because it is set to be 40% of your total RAM. More RAM equals a larger file, and less RAM equals a smaller file.

[@MrJafar]

@TechWise2022 yes I have just 16 gb ram.
