I guess that's useless....but make sure you back up the file first incase you need it back later...

you have 512mb of ram, correct?

yes i do,

Yeah they're always the full size of your RAM if you have "complete memory dump" enabled.

To Disable it :

Control Panel/System > Advanced > Starup & Recovery - Settings > Write Debugging Information > Set it to small memory dump or none.

It is really only for developers.
