Deleting pagefile.sys can free disk space, but it also removes Windows’ safety buffer for memory overflow and crash-dump collection. It usually makes sense only on systems with substantial RAM, predictable workloads, and no need for automatic troubleshooting data. For most users, the safer path is to resize, move, or let Windows manage the paging file instead of removing it entirely. Always test under your real workload and understand the trade-offs before disabling virtual memory.

Talk to a healthcare provider if symptoms are frequent or severe.
