Suddenly no free space.

This is a WIN98 question but I suppose it could apply to XP.
My friend has an old WIN98 computer that his wife uses only for her Email.
The active partition is 6GB and has alwaws been about 2GB used.
Suddenly it reports that it has only a few MB free, the drive is almost
full.
I got him to delete and recreate the windows managed swap file, and he only
has the default recycle bin which is empty.
He searched the hard drive for any unknown large files and found none.
Any suggestions please,

Lyn.
