Old windows problem

[abhisekzok]

I have an old windows files in another drive that i deleted but i still have a sys file called pagefile.sys which is being executed along with the newer pagefile.sys in the main drive. Will deleting it cause system issues since that file takes bout 4gigs of space and i need some free space.

Check to see if your setup is currently using that drive for the pagefile. If not, you can safely delete. If it is, adjust your settings and then delete it. Definitely don't delete it without disabling that drive being used for the pagefile, though I'm pretty sure Windows wouldn't allow it.

Both my pagefiles are used and one is just an extra. How to disable it? I can delete by using a 3rdparty app tuneup shredder.

It should be something like Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced tab, in Performance > Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory
