I thought I could remove this file and free-up 12GB of SSD space but now I found this:
"Windows 8 introduces a fast, new startup capability that allows Windows 8 to boot much faster than any previous Windows system, including Windows 7. To make this happen, Microsoft optimized the way how normally a Windows machine shuts down. Instead of a full shutdown that basically closes the kernel session, Windows 8 hibernates it to save the kernel session, which is much smaller than a full hibernation, to the disk, more specifically, to the hiberfil.sysfile. It makes a faster boot time because resuming the hibernated system session is comparatively less work than doing a full system initialization.
Therefore, unless you deadly need that a few gig space back, you should never disable hibernation on Windows 8. Doing so would result in the permanent removal of the hiberfil.sys file, which would leave no place for the kernel session to be stored, meaning that the fast startup process usage of a saved kernel session would not be possible. You would find your Windows 8 startup takes longer to finish."

On my laptop hibernate is disabled but fast start-up is enabled, so it would just create a new hiberfil.sys file if I remove it because fast start-up is enabled?
