The person who asked the question will eventually read the topics and follow what is inside. I just made a suggestion and everyone has the right to make a suggestion.

I realize that deleting the pagefile will cause big problems to the OS.

what i mean is reading the article carefully and MOVE the file to another drive

thanks

Why didn't you say that then? What you said was ...i think you can safelydelete the pagefile.sys.

Please just allow the OP to respond without further confusing things, thank you.
