In addition to showing hidden files you should also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" in Folder Options. What I assume there using the space is the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys)

what is pagefile.sys, it eat 2.7 gb

Thats the page file or windows' "virtual memory" in cases where you run out of ram and it uses that file as ram instead. This is usually managed by the operating system and should be left alone.
