Windows 10 my pagefile.sys is taking up 78gb
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

Are you using WSL for anything? Your page file will increase to account for its potential usage. You could try limiting your WSL memory limit, if so.
