Yesterday I launched(uploaded) a wordpress site. There is no site visit yet. I was just checking if everything is good and working. I used the plugin "Wordpress Database Backup" to get a backup. Upon opening the .sql file I found section with the below links. There are a lot of these links. Any idea how come these links are in database file?

What theme are you using? The photos are from Matt Mullenweg's gallery. I guess the author used them as demo images, rather than fill up the images folder with them.
Someting like this INSERT INTO `wp_options` VALUES (522, 0, '_transient_feed_867bd5c64f85878d03a060509cd2f92c' Code (markup):
Yes, it's from the Matt Mullenweg's gallery. There are some more URLs from other blogs. "Gazette" from WooThemes.
As I find there is not much response on this thread, can anybody please let me know if I can go ahead delete these lines of image references? Thanks
The size of those records is not huge, right? Well, I would not delete them, it is not necessary. But if you want to remove them anyway, be sure that you will not miss the images.
