The main problem here is that "Amazon Aurora" is not PostgreSQL.
If I understand Amazon's documentation, what you are using is
officially named "Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL Compatibility",
and that sums is up quite nicely: Aurora is a database engine
developed at Amazon - and it's inner workings are not publically
documented.
Whatever is using up that disk space - only AWS Support can know.
