Doug, from the sound of it, it is part of the OS. I'm guessing you found it in a hidden folder. That is why Apple hid it, so people would not play with it and other things.
That and the next OS upgrade will probably reinstall it if you delete the ability of the system to create it.
KISS, Keep It Simple Sam. Or in other words, the more you modify your system, the more problems you probably will encounter, and the harder it will be to troubleshoot.

i called apple, and got to speak with a senior advisor. she walked me through the terminal instructions.
but, i still have the loss of 17 gigs of space.
so, i'd like to make a point here. apple was great. patient, and all. so, i heartily recommend most of you guys who
don't know terminal like a lot of folks here, do NOT accept what someone says on google. call Apple, instead.
i got a case number, the instructions didn't work. like Chris says (Maybe) i just have to accept it.
2nd piece of advise: get the biggest SSD you can afford, and then double it.
harrrrrrrrrr.

Hi,
As I said, its there for a good reason. OSX doesn't general create large
files it doesn't need.
If you want to get rid of it, you need to disable the feature it is
needed for, which is hibernate. Ever left you machine to completely run
out of battery juice ? hibernate is what it does with its last gasp
before shutting down completely. If you are happy to live without this
useful feature, then fine, disable it. Your choice...
cheers Chris

Besides what Chris is saying below, and what I eluded to, I don't see any info on your system.
The article Tim directed you to say that it matches the size of the system RAM. The "17 gigs" could easily be the rounding error from MB or KB, to GB. How much RAM does your system have?

I do not use the MAIL program that came with my iMac. I use Yahoo mail. I am using OS 10.6.8 and have no plans to update in the near future.
Many times when I click on a "send email" link within a webpage, that automatically starts opening the MAIL program, which I do not want to use. Then I have to force quit the MAIL program because it wants to start downloading all my Yahoo mail files.
Is there a way to disable the MAIL program? Or do I have to delete it?
If I did delete MAIL, would that affect my access to my Yahoo mail folders and data?
Thanks!

In Mail.app, under the Mail menu, in Preferences, do you have the option to choose your Yahoo mail as the default email program?

I have lots of problem with entering my ID and/or password on my iPad and iPhone. Also with iCloud.
I know I have enter it correctly, I check after each char. is entered.
Starting today I will try once and if I not excepted I just won't do what ever I'm trying to do. I'll just do without.
Apple need to get it act together on this problem.

The real problem we've seen with this issue is that there's no mechanism for recovering a forgotten password. So my wife's iPhone, iPad, MacBook and iTunes take turns failing to recognize her id/password, but Apple adds insult to injury by giving her just one way to get unstuck: create a new password. The new one can't be the same as anything recently used, so it's finally become impossible to remember her password after changing it dozens of times.
What a debacle.

Gurus,
I will be traveling to UK in a while to visit my daughter who is studying
there. Can someone steer me to an adapter that i can use for my macbook pro
(2009 unibody) there? One that is not the $35.00 World Traveler kit from
Apple? There must be something cheaper.
Thanks

Your machine will work on either US voltage or the voltage of most of
the rest of the world, which is twice as high, so you do not need a
transformer. All you need is an adapter, which you can get for about
7 dollars or so. I've seen them in Target, WalMart, etc.
