What is using 15Gb on my C drive?

Possibly what you quoted was an accidental & unacknowledged
self-referent remark.

Cool. So now when your machine crashes, you can kick yourself hard for
being a dumbass.

Don't call names, or you may find they bounce back and attach to you.

If I'm not mistaken, hiberfil.sys is not even looked at while Windows
is running, and it gets created anew when (if) you hibernate. If I'm
not mistaken, deleting it has no ill effects and doesn't make the
machine crash.

I do wonder why the PP's is so large, though. Mine is just over 3
GB. Maybe it's the size of RAM?

And moments after posting the above, I saw Ken's article with the
Microsoft reference that confirms my guess.

You need to read what I said.
I'll keep the sentences short for you.
I don't want the hibernation feature.
I turn off the hibernation feature.
When hibernation is turned off Windows deletes hiberfil.sys.
Here's some more information, if you are interested:

Well Richard, are you going to click on that link above and learn the facts
of the matter?
Hopefully so.
