This has not happened before.

I am attempting to delete the pagefile.sys before defragmenting.

Two computers, each with one user, set as administrator.

I have repeatedly set the pagefile to none for all drives.

Using the users and the administrators accounts.

After reboot the setting is still at no page file, but windows indicates
one exists. And I cannot delete the file.

I have tried safe mode.

I have increased the size of the recommended amount. Works fine.

For one computer, I set the drive to auto for the D: drive and none for
the C: drive and after boot the C: file is gone and the D: exists. I set
the D: drive to none and the file is once again on the C:

I am annoyed now. This is stupid.

Has some recent MS update made this happen?

If the aim of this is to get a defragmented pagefile this may be of use to
