Hard drive/virus/xp problem

Hello,
The other day, I was using the computer and this bubble popped up and
said "your E: hard drive is full." It's 100 GB, so I knew that couldn't
be right. That partition doesn't have any stored documents, I just put
windows xp on there, then had the documents on another partition.
Anyway, I went to My Computer, clicked on "E: drive" and sure enough,
it was full. So I wondered "what's filling up this drive?"
To get extra space right away, I used the Disk Cleanup to get rid of
Temp Files. But that only cleared out a few GB.
I used the search bar to find files over 10 Gb, and the only file I
found was USB001. I looked at it, and it was 82.5 GB.
This morning, I booted it up, and USB001 had expanded, and the E: had
absolutely no room left. It had taken the space I had opened from the
temp files being removed.
It's in E:\WINDOWS\system32\usb001
I already scanned it for viruses. Maybe I should do a full-system
check, if some other file is just storing information there.
Now, I'm just wondering what to do with it. If I delete it, would
something stop working?
