If you have ever used hibernation feature in Windows, the hiberfil.sys file will be created. That also explains why the size of hiberfil.sys file is always same size with computer’s memory size. When system hibernates, the system state of the computer is preserved by storing a copy of all data in the memory in hiberfil.sys file located on your local disk, so that when the computer restarts, the information can be read into memory to restore the state as of exact state when computer starts to hibernate. Hiberfil.sys is a file that Windows system creates whenever the computer goes into hibernation mode. For example, if the computer have 2 GB of DRAM memory, the hiberfil.sys file size will also be around 1.99 GB in size, taking up precious hard disk space, and in worse case increase fragmentation on the drive. The hiberfil.sys is large and big in size, always as big as your system physical memory (RAM) size. In Windows operating system environment such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 system, there may be a file named hiberfil.sys created and existed in the system root drive on boot disk.
