They’re consuming a lot of space, and after installing Windows, you’re left with very little room. It’s worth checking if removing them is safe for your system.

You have to disable your pagefile and disable hibernation, then it will delete the files (if the hiberfill.sys file doesn't go away after turning hibernation off and restarting, you can delete it yourself.) http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/132201...hange.html Here's how to use your RAM for the pagefile.

No, disabling them does not have any negative effects.

Hibernation is straightforward to understand. Your computer won’t enter hibernation mode until you manually power it back on. Regarding the pagefile, Windows will notify you when memory is running low, though 32GB should cover most needs. A pagefile forms when RAM capacity is insufficient, moving data from your main memory to a storage device as needed.

Based on the amount of RAM available. When your RAM becomes full, the system will use the page file as an extra storage area. If you don’t enable hibernation, you can turn it off and remove the file to free up space. This file is needed only for that purpose.

Just to note that some software use pagefile even when user has plenty of free ram. You can disable it but if you encounter any problems, add small file (200mb etc).
