Why does Magento Admin show 39,000 records (database only has 5000 products)

[Prime85]

Can anyone please help me understand why my Magento admin shows over 39,000 records but i only have 5,000 products on my site?

I am really struggling with trying to figure out how this happened.

thanks

We don't have too many Magento people in here, and I myself don't have any experience with it. However, a couple of things to look at. First, can you do a spot check of those records and see if they are all product records, or if some of them are transaction records? Are some of them maybe expired products? Or options on products such as color or size?
