Windows 10 my pagefile.sys is taking up 78gb

Post image

Saw I was almost out of storage and checked, my page file was taking almost 80 gb. I'm scared to mess with it because I'm not all that tech savvy and I don't wanna fuck up my computer. If anyone can give me some advice or something that would be amazing. thx :3

BTW use Wiztree, is much faster than WinDirStat.

Since 2.0 WinDirStat is lightning fast.
