 * Hi,
 * I have a ecommerce marketplace, with approx 10k products registered.
    My postmeta
   table has gone wild since few weeks, and despite many commands and plugins to
   delete orphans and transcients (and optimize the database in general), the _postmeta
   table is the only one not decreasing. It remains between 500Mo-600Mo and it causes
   me lots of problems…
 * Do you have any recommendations?
 * Best,
 * Maxime

 * With 10k products 500MB in the `post_meta` could be appropriate. Is there any
   data in there that is out of place?

 * Thanks for your fast reply!
 * As my wp_posts table is a bit less than 50Mo, I thought a _postmeta of this size
   was not so appropriate.
    It seems that unused data is not deleted / spotted by
   plugins.

 * That could very well be the case. Do you have some example of unused data maybe?
   
   Also I take it CRON is working ok?
