Phantom hiberfil.sys on SSD?

I use a 120GB SSD for my OS and a couple of games. Earlier I noticed quite a large chunk of memory just missing after a few hours, about 25GB to be exact. I searched and searched in the files and found nothing out of place. I started up my Disktrix Ultimate Defrag 4 just to let it analyse it so I could see what was physically written down in the memory. I found a huge hiberfil.sys sitting there. I can't see it in Explorer, and I know I disabled hibernation when I set up my SSD. That's a no-brainer at this point. But just to make sure I opened up the command prompt, used "powercfg -h off," and was told my firmware didn't support this. I don't have the hibernation dropdown in my power options either. Help please. I need this giant useless phantom file gone!
