Interesting. SMW usually cleans its records when pages are deleted *in the wiki*. Maybe more is needed to make sure that this also happens when using the DeleteBatch extension to delete pages (or did you use the MW script?). In any case, the deleted pages will continue to have IDs in SMW (and hence "exists" in a sense), but they should not have any other properties. > I will look at the extension you mention.

That would not be the preferred method, since you need to know the internal storage logic to do such clean-up properly (e.g. for n-ary datatypes, you need to clean further tables and ids). In general, you can always perform the steps for SMW data repair [1] to fix SMW records. It is also possible now to call the script SMW_refreshData.php with a specific page name to refresh, so this would be another option for cleaning a deleted page's data.
