Disable hibernation and you can delete it.

Hi

If you don't need/want to use Hibernation - right click on the Desktop, =
select Properties and then the Screen Saver tab. Click on the Hibernate =
tab and then disable 'Enable hibernation' - Apply>OK your way out. The =
hiberfil.sys is then automatically deleted - no need to manually delete =
it - it has already gone!!

It is the file the contents of RAM get dumped into if you close and
Hibernate. If you do not want to do that, go to Control Panel - Power
Options - Hibernate page and uncheck the 'Enable' box. When you Apply,
the file will go
