Note on Removing Files:

• hiberfile.sys ok to delete
• pagefe.sys should NOT be deleted
• .ost outlook files should NOT be deleted

Although hiberfil. sys is a hidden and protected system file, you can safely delete it if you don’t want to use the power-saving options in Windows. That’s because the hibernation file has no effect on the general functions of the operating system.

Pagefile. sys is an extremely important file when it comes to keeping your Windows computer running smoothly. It helps give your PC’s RAM more breathing room when physical memory can no longer hold more data. You can delete it, but only do so when you know your computer’s RAM has enough capacity to stand on its own.
