Can't delete hiberfil.sys file from my bootcamp windows7...

I tried powercfg.exe -h off, but it says I don't have the right to do that...


If I try to delete it manually it says it is in use by another application.


It looks like I am not administrator on my bootcamp windows7, although in the settings it says I am..


How can I change that?


I would need that space,


Can someone help me please?


Thank you!!!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Info about hibernation:

Hiberfil.sys will appear in the root folder of your hard drive, usually c:\. This file is part of your Windows operating system. It supports the "Hibernate" feature. Some people use this feature to save power while not using the computer. Hibernation takes everything currently in memory and writes it to the file called hyberfil.sys. It is a hidden files.


If you don't use this hibernation, you can get rid of the file:

Go to Control Panel,

click "Power Options".

Select the "Hybernate" tab.

De-select 'Enable Hibernate Support'.

Click the Apply button.

As soon as you restart your computer, the hiberfile.sys file will be gone.
