Hei guys I am really needing some help. I create a partion so I could run both operating system MAC OS X something an Windows 7 professional. When it comes to Windows the hibernation file and pagefile.sys are taking me out all of my meory. The bigger the partion I create for Windows the more they take it out from me. It's insane! I know you don't advice to delete pagefile.sys but I need to free up some space! Can anyone help? Thanks all.

If you delete pagefile.sys, Windows will simply create a new one next time you load Windows, and you've got to have one so there's nothing you can do there.

You can delete hiberfil.sys but make sure you never use Hibernation Mode after doing so or Windows will create a new one. In case you forget never to use Hibernation Mode you can disable it:
