In terms of hibernation Windows 8 is no different than Windows 7 or any previous predecessors. Upon installing Windows 8, by default, Windows will allocate an equivalent amount of your system’s RAM to it’s disk. If you look close you will find a file named hiberfil.sys in your root system partition. The size of the hiberfil.sys is the size of your memory, if you never plan to put your computer into hibernation than it’s probably a good idea to disable and gain all the disk space back.
How To Disable Hibernation or Delete the hiberfil.sys In Windows 8
Go to Start Menu and type cmd > right click > Run as Administrator (on the bottom of the menu)
Type
Press enter and there you go. You’ve now disabled hibernation in Windows 8 as well as gained some valuable disk space in your main partition drive.
