| If you're like me and rarely use sleep or hibernation on your desktop and have some systems with small root SSDs, | |
| this will probably come in handy. Windows 8.1 has changed a few things around so that getting an admin command | |
| prompt is slightly different than Windows 7, but that's easily sorted. | |
| To remove the pesky hiberfil.sys: | |
| - Press Win | |
| - Type :cmd" | |
| - Confirm with shift+ctl+enter | |
| - Type powercfg -h off | |
| - hit enter | |
| Voila, massive file removed! |
