In the Database there are a bunch or _transient_.... options that are accounting for a large portion of the size of my database. If I delete them they come back, but in other blogs I have they do not exist can anyone tell me:
a) What are they?
b) How do I permanently get rid of them?
those are objects stored in cache.
quoting Ryan B:
We're experimenting with having
transient data such as update_plugins stored in the cache whenever a
persistent object cache backend is installed so that we can avoid
cluttering up the options table. See
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9048Transients have transient_* filters that behave the same as option_*.

Still a little hazy on what a transient object is or how it come to exist. Is it not possible to delete these or do they keep coming back due to my use of wp-super-cache?

Please help us remove RSS feed cache out of options table DB and also allow us to flush it clean. (Clean Options plugin allows removing only the OLD storage of pre 2.8 RSS feed.)
What site owner would want to cache or store news "feeds for the WP planet & stuff" in their options table DB? It seems to store them just in case I turn on the dashboard Blog news option.
If it really is a dashboard option then surely turning it off:
OFF - WordPress Development Blog / OFF - Other WordPress News
could flush transient NEWS cache and leave us free from storing it.
Anyway, the option table DB should store the option only not the actual RSS feed.
