Those are necessary system files, don't remove them. Look at the links below or Google for those file names.

You don't need to have hibernation enabled. Go to Control Panel, Power Options, Hibernate, an uncheck the box. The hibernate sys file will be deleted upon a reboot.


If you're concerned about running out of space on C, then you can move the Page File to another partition.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
