My Master postgres db is currently < 100 mb.

enter image description here

I am doing the initial replication on another machine, using command

pg_basebackup -h 'masters_ip' -D /1TBdisk/postgres/ -U replica -v -P

But its going very slow, and appears to be downloading a huge tablespace (100172766 kb ~= 95 GB ).

Not sure what's going on there. It will eventually complete overnight, but I'd really like to know why the tablespace is close to 95 gb. enter image description here

I had setup archival previously on the master, and the archive directory is taking all that space on master. 

$ du -s -m *
100033  archive
2954    base

I have to find a way to clean the archival
