Question about 'How do I know if I can delete a specific file?'

I have a question about How
do I know if I can delete a specific file?:
I have the "small" hard drive problem. I have a 4 GB hard drive with XP Pro Installed,
and I currently have oh, about 160 MB left, so XP is bugging me about it. However,
I've concluded that 1.2 GB of that is taken up by the pagefile! AND, I've attempted
to move it to my second hard drive. Right now, WINDOWS thinks that there is no pagefile
on C:\, and the registry does too, but it is still most definitely there.
HELP! How do I REALLY move the pagefile and let Windows know about it?

How did you "try" to move it?
1.2 G seems high unless you have a huge amount of RAM and/or are opening everything
you can think of at once...
To move it to another drive, use the System icon in Control Panel.
Click on the C: drive and set min and max to 0, then click on the drive you want
it on and set it how you want it (try to set min and max the same and about 1-1/2
times the size of your RAM).
Then reboot.
If the pagefile.sys still shows on the C: drive, try to delete it...
Good Luck

Do you have Roxio go back installed on your system?If it is installed and you try
to move the page file ,it cannot be moved.I had this problem.I disabled GoBack and
then moved the page file to another drive and then enabled Goback again.
Hope this helps!
