After installing bitcoin wallet and guiminer. Bitcoin wallet was synchronising and somehow it took almost all the space in my C: drive and even my D: drive was full it had pagefile.sys. The one in C: drive is 9.99gb in D i removed with advanced system settings, performance option but I am unable to remove it in c. What should I do?
Pagefile.sys hiberfil.sys HaxLogs.txt occupying space couldn't be deleted.

First off, mining likely isn't something you can make money on with a desktop any more.
Secondly, if the program needs the space you should not be removing it.
The PAGEFILE is necessary to prevent crashes and fills up as the program uses it. You should not remove it. You should let Windows auto-manage it (which appears to be the case).
Since you have space issues I suggest you:
1. Buy a larger drive (and clone Windows to it), or
2. stop using the mining software that's using up the space.

Hibernation:
That's a separate issue. If you disable Hibernation the Hiberfil.sys file should disappear. You can then SLEEP or turn off, but not use Hibernate (which copies the Pagefile from fast, system memory to the hard drive during SLEEP to prevent the pagefile disappearing if power is lost).
You can Google for how to do that for your Windows version.

1) I was trying to see what is bitcoin mining. I have azure machine which is always free so thought if I could use it. after I try it on my PC bad idea.
2)After I uninstalled the mining software there was still this file.
3) I have other doubts . When all these things were going on I was also installing android sdk with sdk manager.
4) Anyway I have decided to upgrade to windows10. Have been thinking about doing it for a long time to get rid of all the unnecessary files and to upgrade.

Plan the W10 upgrade carefully to ensure you keep all programs and data.
Make a list of programs to reinstall, passwords you need for e-mail etc., export FAVORITES for browsers... store on USB or secondary drive.
Clean install is best.
