cat /proc/swaps
to look at swap usage

But its separate from the rest of your filesystem so it shouldn't to using more diskspace than it should.
Probably just the logs, temp files etc.

is there some way of cleaning out the junk files in linux, like scandisk, defragment, disk cleanup, or somethin like that in redhat 9 ?
