Are you using streaming or wal shipping (or both)?
The data folder is to general, there are a bunch of folders in there.
Can you compare the sizes of the folders inside? (things like base and
pg_xlog)
Assuming you have wal shipping, do you have the archive_cleanup_command
set in your recovery.conf?
