Page file indicated for most of the disk - why? How to rid?

have you manual delete the pagefile.sys? sometimes it still on harddisk...

delete unnecessary system restore points?

perhaps helps the windows-defragmentation?

22

if in this folder a single-file with 800 MB or so, delete it

C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports

23

have you include any kind of "temp" folder to clean with ccleaner? -with option "files and subfolders"

c:\user\default\appdata\local\temp

c:\user\yournick\appdata\local\temp

c:\user\allusers\temp

+ perhaps more of this kind...

c:\program files (x86)\temp

c:\programmdata\temp

c:\windows\temp

24

perhaps deactivate this options...

25

and dont use drive wiper -but that's just my personal opinion

26

disable the indexing if you dont need it

27

Hoping this would move the thing forward a bit; it seems a search through the CBS.log for "cannot repair" should identify specific files which sfc /scannow cannot fix - that may be wrong. Four files in the 13,411 rows of the CBS.log were identified:

fdeploy.dll

fde.dll

gpedit.dll

gptext.dll

So now where to find a same-version copy to replace my copies of these files? My wife has a same-version laptop but will these files be OK? After 2 years of use and updates?

Current state as attached image.

Is there any way forward?

Thanks

Phil

Thanks - There were five files in the Watchdog folder in there. The largest file was 675mb. Did not delete though some files were years old.

OK - Indexing is on, but who is to say one does not need it? Is it just a matter of waiting time if indexing is off?

Thanks - Previously I did the NO PAGEFILE thing, re-booted, there was none. Then reset it to System Managed, which today is 6582MB. Hiberfil was set off then a defrag and then set on.

i think, you should it try-but save your 5 files on an usb drive or so...

besides, it does not mean that your have 5 defective files!

ok-the pagefile is smaller :-) but what are these many red colored files? can you show this window? sorted according with the largest files at first?

this large files can you delete-if you have any kind of this great files in this folder -delete too

nobody, I personally have never used the indexing, but if you deactivate the indexing, the normal "search" still works :-) you can save harddiskspace and relieve your cpu

perhaps it is not so important...

this pagefile is ok.

your free diskspace is going down from time to time...

have you all unnecessary progs deinstalled?
