C Disk Huge file is what file

Q: My Computer C disk has three files volume is too large, add up to have more than 10 g! is not known what the problem, please advise. These three files are: C:windowswinsxs, there are 9GB of giant. C:FACEPROV.LOG,2GB. C:pagefile.sys, 2.4GB.

A: First, talk about WinSxS. According to Microsoft officials, this folder is designed to support the quarantine of COM and shared DLLs. Windows XP provides a folder named "WinSxS" (Windows Side-by-side) under the Windows directory. The system uses this folder to store versions of the Windows XP components, reducing the configuration problems (DLL Hell) that are caused by dynamic link libraries (Dynamics link libraries,dll). Multiple versions of a component are stored in this folder. Windows XP allows WIN32 API components and applications to use versions of Microsoft components that are exactly the same version of these programs as they were tested, and not affected by other programs or operating system upgrades. Windows XP implements this functionality through an XML file that holds metadata about application configuration, such as COM classes, interfaces, and type libraries. This shows that the file of this folder is very important, absolutely do not delete (there have been deleted users can not enter the system after the serious problem), and the c:windowswinsxsbackup is a backup file, you can delete.

Again, Faceprov.log. From its suffix named log, it is a log file that can be deleted.

Finally said Pagefile.sys, this is the paging file, this file cannot be deleted, but we can change its size and location: Right-click My Computer/properties, and then, under the Advanced tab of the dialog box, click the Settings button under Performance, and then switch to advanced in the Performance Options dialog box. tab, and then click the Change button under virtual memory, you can change the size of the paging file as needed--first select C, then select No paging file, click the Settings button, then select the letter to generate the file, click Custom Size below, and enter the appropriate value. This number is usually 1.5 times times the physical memory, and then click Settings, and finally determine that the computer is restarted and the file is on another partition.
