 * If you installed the demo data from the theme you purchased it might have had
   some posts included in that data. I’m willing to bet that because it has happened
   many time that is what the cause is. The best solution would be to just delete
   the posts. If you delete them and then later new random/spam posts appear then
   you site is running some malicious code, likely in the theme you chose from theme
   forest and I’d suggest removing the theme forest theme and choosing a theme from
   here on wp.org [https://wordpress.org/themes/](https://wordpress.org/themes/)
 * Hope this helps.

 * Thank you for replaying.
    actually i cant delete the theme, note that i have 
   updated all the plugins and themes, and still getting this problem, is there 
   any plugin or way to check and delete those bad files

 * I am not suggesting to delete the theme. My first suggestion was delete the posts
   that aren’t your and see if new ones come back. Again, it sounds like you installed
   demo content. If you did not then the theme has malicious code and you will either
   need to choose a different theme or ask the theme developer. We are not able 
   to help with theme forest themes here on wp.org. sorry I can not provide further
   assistance than that.
