pagefile? 
hyberfil.sys?
Installer folder?

Could be either of those.

Maybe check the size of the page file ?

 

Press Windows Key + pause/break 

then click advanced system settings

Well your page file usually is the same amount of ram that you have installed, in your case it's 16GB so your pagefile.sys is 16.354GB. However, in my case I have 8GB of ram but my page file is 1.7GB, however I'd recommend you watching this: 

 

 

Also disable your hibernation file will help a bit too:
