When I queried my brother, yep, he did just that. He used the Disk Cleanup Tool to clear off unnecessary files to reduce wasted storage space.

And without hibernation, the hybrid sleep feature would not work either; resulting in only shutdown and sleep mode available for the computer.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep mode is usually not the best solution for laptop and notebook users, because the PC is still alive and drawing power from the battery. The power drain is not that small and I have experience it discharging the battery completely within a quarter of a day.
