 * Hello and thanks for this plugin!
 * I have a question about post cleanup.
 * I only have active pages, no posts and no comments.
 * However, there may have been previous posts and comments that were deleted.
 * I later took over the site for maintenance.
 * Before the plugin did the cleanup, it reported
 * In total there are 2,839 posts and 16,083 post metadata.
 * After the cleanup
 * In total there are **943** posts and 4,293 post metadata.
 * I don’t understand the number of posts…I only have **48** pages active.
 * How can I explain the number of posts?
 * And… sorry for my “English”, I hope it gets understood.
 * Kind regards
