Hibernate is a windows shutdown option, which can turn off and restart your windows very fast. And when you restart your windows after an hibernate windows will come back exactly the same state when you hibernated it. Which means all your previously opened programs will be opened for you. This is a pretty cool feature to use.
However , when Hibernate is on it generates a file hiberfill.sys which takes up a 4gb of space in your windows drive. So if you do not prefer to use the hibernate feature and and want to free up the space taken by the hiberfill.sys file then you can follow the commands
1)open you command prompt in administrator mode
2) In the command prompt type
powercfg –h off
-or-
powercfg –H off
-or-
powercfg –hibernate off
This will silently delete the hiberfill.sys file and free up space in windows drive .
