 * Hi
    I am using this plugin for cleaning DB
 * it recognizes a lot of orphan posts meta which related to ACF.
    When I checked
   them, I confused. for instance one of them is ‘field_586c214c0078a’ it related
   to one of my posts. it’s not orphan. however, just for a test, I deleted it. 
   I expected the field has to empty on the post. but the amount of ‘field_586c214c0078a’
   is still there.
 * My question is, Does ACF make a double table which one of them is recognized 
   as an ‘orphan posts meta’?
    Can I delete all orphan posts meta which the database
   cleaner’s plugin recognized?

 * Hi [@mohammad983](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mohammad983/),
 * Thank you for contacting me.
 * Indeed, the plugin may report some ACF fields as orphans even if they are valid.
   Please make sure that they are really orphans before deleting them. I don’t have
   enough information about how ACF stores its data, but I think it uses two rows
   with the same name for each field.
 * I’m working on a new version of the plugin which will take ACF into account more
   accurately.
 * Best regards,
    Younes
