I had the same problem with two of my SharePoint content databases. In my case, it happened to be that the AuditData table is huge. Look at your Site Collection Audit Settings.

You can always try and shrink the log files in controlled way. I have detailed the steps in my blog for doing this: http://shareyourpoint.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/how-to-manage-large-sharepoint-configuration-database-logfile/

Just shooting from the hip. Is there anything in the Recycle Bin on Sharepoint?

Have you made changes to the default pages? My guess is you went from ghosted to unghosted pages
