Paging File Size
My pagefile is getting very large. I have it set to "Automatically manage paging file size". Any suggestions on how to decrease the size or make it more efficient? Thank you.

2 Questions:
1 - I have 2 identical servers running Server 2016, on one server I can see the pagefile.sys under the C drive on the other server I do not see the pagefile.sys. Is there a setting for this? I already am showing hidden items.
2 - Is it okay to delete pagefile.sys or is this not recommended. I see the option in the settings to have "No Paging File"
Thank you.

1.) Can you post same screenshot as above for second server?
2.) It is a possibility but not recommended unless you have very large memory.
