This is an essential and variable file that is the heart of your windows virtual memory. Its called the swap file and cannot be deleted. Even if you were to get rid of it, the next time you started windows, it would build it again. Leave it and other windows files alone. Unless you know EXACTLY what the file is and what it is for, you will do more harm than good in deleting files randomly.
