You can't delete the file, it is the virtual memory file. You can change the size
of this file or designate another drive for it if you can get back in windows. If
not, your options are slim. If you have a boot disk use it to get to a dos prompt
and try to delete it from there. Once Winddows loads, there is no way to delete the
file. Once you get in Windows, you can modify the file size or move it to another
drive by doing the following:
1.Click the 'Start button.'
2.Highlight 'Control Panel' and click on 'System.'
3.Click on the 'Advanced' tab.
4.Under the "Performance" section click on the 'Settings' button.
5.In the "Performance Options" window, click on the 'Advanced' tab.
6.At the bottom of the window, you will see a "Virtual memory" section. Click on
the 'Change' button.
7.You can click on the hard drive you want to use for the paging file in the Drive
List box. You can also set a custom size of the file, allow Windows to manage the
file, or use no paging file at all. I strongly suggest that unless you are an expert
power-user, you allow Windows to manage your page file size.
8.Click on C to change the size to 2mb in both min. & max. sizes if you want to move
the file to another drive.
9.Click the 'OK' button on all open windows.
10.When you are back to your desktop, reboot your computer for the new settings to
take place.
