Question Huge Hidden Files

I have Windows XP home edition installed on the first partiton of a four partitioned disk drive.
Lastly, i have downloaded huge files)about 600.000 kB in size) from the internet and i have wrote them into cds using ahead nero (about 15 files like that).

the problem is that after writing them and deleting the downloaded files. i remarked that there are two HUGe hidden files in C:/, the files are hyberfil.sys and pagefile.sys
the first is 530Mb in size and the second is over 750 MB in size!!!!!!!!!!!.
i can't delete them, whenever i want to it says that the files are used by another program or person.

i don't know if they really caused by the huge files i have downladed, the files are iso images for Linux. i have deleted he files and deleted all tempororaly internet files. i am also setting windows restore off.

any help on what these files are doing there and how can delete them if they are useless????????????


please!
thank you
