Hello friends,
I have not changed any settings for my ssd(Silicon power S60 240GB) because I want all the performance I can get from it...I have only kept the virtual memory to a custom 2GB since I read somewhere that disabling it will effect the performance of my pc..My storage never went down automatically after that but yesturday this hibernation file went up from 3gb to 10gb and I am concerned about it.Should I delete it and let my OS create a new and maybe smaller file instead or should I just disable it? is it good to have this file enabled?

If you are not using hibernation just stop and delete it:
CMD Prompt (as administrator) powercfg.exe /hibernate off, on to turn it back on.

Yeah I boot on to my desktop screen in about 5-6 seconds, since my ssd is brand new so i wont be using hibernation for now atleast...So deleting it and disabling it wont damage or corrupt any data on my drive, right?

In that case youd likely be fine.
