What are WordPress drafts and how to clean them?
WordPress lets you save a post or page without publishing it immediately, allowing you to work on it until it’s ready. This is known as a WordPress draft. Over time, you may accumulate drafts that you’ll never publish, which you can clean up.
To clean these drafts, you can use our Advanced Database Cleaner plugin or run the following SQL code directly via phpMyAdmin (the same code used by the plugin):
DELETE FROM posts WHERE post_status = 'draft'
