Does disabling pagefile.sys delete it from the system?
For security reasons, I want to delete the contents stored inside pagefile.sys securely with very slim chance of recovering it. I thought about backing up my files and doing a reformat of my PC and then using Eraser to wipe free space. But this is a time-consuming method. What is the fastest way to securely delete the pagefile.sys? Would disabling pagefile.sys and then using Eraser to wipe free space work? Or is pagefile.sys simply hidden when it is disabled?
