Pagefile and Hibernation Files are Huge?

Manually set your page file to be only 1GB. Also, disable hibernation.
in cmd, type powercfg -h off and that will disable the hibernation.
Right click on Computer, go to Properties, then choose Advanced System Settings. Under performance, click Settings, then go under the Advanced tab. Click Change and untickthe box to have Windows automatically adjust the page file. Set it to Custom with a size 1024. Apply all the settings and restart. If the hibernation file still exists, use Windirstat to delete it.
Some people may say remove the page file completely, but I hear that if there is no page file some people get BSOD's, so I'm always safe and just leave mine really small.

Anything with 4GB+ makes the page file useless.
Awesome, thanks.
