I have a virtual machine for which there is no free space in C:. I noticed that the swap file contains a lot of C: spaces.

Windows needs a paging file, but depending on what you do on each of our systems, the best small paging file might work. Instead of deleting the paging file, you can manually set this method to a smallerthe size. Not knowing more about your surroundings, yes. Making specific recommendations is not easy. In general, the goal is to use the virtual machine to configure enough memory to minimize page directory usage. Then a 1–4 GB paging file will suffice.

PageFile.sys is your “” virtual memory “” for swap. This is where things are added that are in your RAM when they are probably not currently being used. It is not recommended to delete the paging file.
You can easily install the paging file on other drives, such as drive D.
Set the swap file configuration to C: – b From the swap file, E: – set a manageable size, then restart the system: on restart, the swap file in C: is deleted and a new one is created in E:
1. Select C: in the Exclusive Memory window
2. Select the No file check box, click different storage media to determine the paging file your company needs.
3. Click “Define” to apply the settings
4 real. After restarting, go to the virtual memory window. You will notice that the paging file is now installed on a different drive, for example.Also, I would recommend that you find a website file on drive C that is at least 500MB in size, which should be enough to generate the dumps. You can then place a larger paging file on a different drive, which can be useful from a performance standpoint.
