On Vista, I wanted to move my pagefile off the main drive so I set it to no pagefile first, rebooted and then set it up on the D:drive. Now it shows up on the D: drive but the old pagefile.sys is also still on the C: drive and it's taking up 3.5gigs of space.

Is it safe to just delete it or what's the best way to get rid of it?
 
But I keep hearing that there is a performance advantage in having the pagefile on a different drive to your OS, once the drives are the same speed.

Is there a way to do this in Vista or will it keep re-creating a pagefile on C: even if there is already one on D: (separate physical drives)?
