How do I delete my hiberfil.sys in Win8?

[manicmike]

I'm trying to free up space on my boot drive (90GB SSD).

I have had hibernation disabled for quite some time, but now that the SSD is filled to the point I can't install any more updates without upgrading (which the finances don't currently allow), I want to delete my Hiberfil.sys.

AUSLogics Disk Defrag shows a big gray unmovable file named hiberfil.sys, but when I right click an open containing folder (C:\), I cannot find it, even with the search function.

I do have "View Hidden Files and Folders" enabled, so why can I not find and delete hiberfil.sys?

Right-click the C drive under Computer and select Disk Cleanup. That provides the option to delete a lot of junk, including hibernation file.

Disabling hibernation causes that file to go away.

From an elevated command prompt:
powercfg -h off
