The wp_posts table doesn’t just hold posts. it holds pages, menu items, media details, and more. It also holds auto-drafts, revisions, etc, and all of those take up space. If you’re concerned you can look at the contents of what’s in the table and see for yourself. Everything will have a value set under post_type that will tell you what each row actually is.

Thank you! The website was actually hacked! I cleaned the tables and will be monitoring it. Thanks again!

Also, make sure you close backdoors as well.
When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.
