When working with a ready-made setup, avoid handling that partition because it holds the OS installer—just in case you need to reset the system. For hiberfil.sys, turn off hibernation before accessing it. Execute cmd as administrator and run "powercfg -h off" to disable it.

The power settings don't include a "Hibernation" feature. It's unclear what you mean by hibernation—it seems similar to putting your device to sleep while keeping it accessible. I usually leave it alone on machines with ample space, but my MacBook Air has only 30GB for Windows, so I turn it off to free up room. If you don't need Hibernation, just run the command to restore space. Disk space reserved for hibernation matches your available RAM. You can always run "powercfg -h on" to reactivate it.

I believe removing Hiberfil.sys might be a viable option, offering some guidance that could assist you.
