Hiberfil.sys

[phenix]

Running Windows 7 pro 32-bit.
All updates in place.

I can't find where "hiberfil.sys" is located to see the size of the file.
Tried a search with "Hidden files showing".

Next I want to remove it.
I understand that the file doesn't effect anything else and is safe to remove.

In the command prompt I would type in powercfg -h off then hit enter to
delete the file.

hiberfil.sys will be in the root of the Windows partition. It will only exist if hibernation is enabled.
