is it safe to delete 1 pagefile.sys if you have 2 internal HD’s?

by rroberto18 . Updated 16 years ago

I have 2 internal HDs on my Win XP SP3 system. I was advised to create a pagefile.sys on the non-boot drive (F) to increase performance. I then limited the boot drive’s pagefile.sys size to 0 (C) and rebooted, but the original pagesys file (C) persists.

Is it safe to delete it (on C) under these circumstances? Or should I employ some other steps to free up the space on my boot HD (C) that the now-useless pagesys occupies there?
