 * The plugin is great however I would like to request a feature to remove:
   _wp_old_date_edit_last_edit_lock
 * from postmeta table where I see 100s of records of it. Thanks!

 * Hi,
   Thank you so much for the positive feedback and the suggestion!
 * _edit_lock and _edit_last are excellent candidates, and we’ll add them to the
   list of removable patterns in the next update. Both are safe to remove: WordPress
   automatically regenerates _edit_lock every time a post is opened in the editor,
   and _edit_last is recreated upon the next save. So there’s no loss of functionality—
   just UI/audit information that gets regenerated.
 * As for _wp_old_date, we’ve decided not to make it removable. WordPress uses it
   to redirect old URLs when a post’s publication date is changed (useful if you
   use date-based permalinks, like /2023/05/post-name/, and want old saved or indexed
   links to continue working). Even though it might not be necessary in your specific
   case, I’d rather not risk 404 errors on other users’ sites that rely on it.
 * Thanks again for the feedback—it really helps improve the plugin.
 * Best regards,
   Matteo
