    hiberfil.sys on my C: drives is using 3.4 gigs, I assume it would be used if the pc went into hibernation, I never use hibernation and I would like that space back, anyone know how to free it up ?

    Is Hibernation enabled? If so turn it off in the Power Options in Control Panel and restart.

    Hey guys I have the opposite problem.

    I did a disc clean and deleted hiberfil.sys

    I tried the command solution, but it didn't work.

    I run vista so I was considering buying a windows vista restore disc to solve the problem. Do you guys think this will work.
    I use the hibernation and sleep functions all the time.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thread is over 5 years old mate, you'd be better off starting a new one

    What exactly is the opposite problem to "I want to recover the memory taken up by hiberfil.sys"? Because as it stands, quite aside from being a prime demonstration of necrothreadage, I don't think your question makes sense.

    I'd suggest starting a new thread, detailing:
    • What version of Vista you're running,
    • What problem you're experiencing, including symptoms and if at all possible the error message you're seeing,
    • What you've done to try and fix it, along with the results.

    That should be enough information for us to help point you in the right direction.

    powercfg -h on

    ???

    Run it from an admin command prompt.
