'Sold' Page

I was wondering why the 'Recently Sold' page wasn't working as it should. It turns out that every item I have ever sold, which was over 1000 puppets, were stored on the site in their original state. When I deleted them from the 'Recently Sold' page, I wasn't actually deleting them from the website. It all got too overloaded and I am going through the site now, deleting all the old previously sold items. I like to keep the 'Sold' page for the most recent items sold but will just keep the previous couple of weeks sales there now. Hope that makes sense.
