Hi,
noticed the other day when I was trying to minimize what I have on my C drive ssd that the pagefile took up around 11GB and I did a Google search but I don't feel that the answer I got from there enlighten-ed me at all, I'm still wondering what to do.

You can easily change the size of the page file to something a lot smaller than 11 GB if you are concerned about space allotted to it.
Discussing whether or not to eliminate it entirely is useless. You can find opinions on either side, with each side positive that the other side is composed of morons. "I did X and haven't had any problems...........".
Would you spend much time trying to convince someone of anything about religion? If you would, then Google and experiment all you wish with the page file. Put it on some other drive, some other partition, make it any size you want, or do away with it entirely.
But don't expect to be "enlightened". Do what you want. If you don't like the results, do something else.
My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced System Settings --> Performance / Settings --> Performance Option / Settings -->Virtual Memory / Change: Custom Size, you can set a minimum and a maximum, or set both to one number; I did it in "groups" of 1024 :) i.e. I have 8GB memory, so I set min & max to 4096 -- clicked Set, clicked OKs until I was out of the grey boxes.
