Add sweep to remove several WordPress Defaults

[bhubbard]

Many sites leave the wordpress defaults, it might be good to add a sweep to check for them and remove them if they exist:

• Hello World Post
• Sample Page
• Default Mr. WordPress Comment
• Default Tagline

Unlikely I will add this in because I know some user keeps it. If there are more request for it, then I can consider.

If it helps, I work for a company and manage 200+ wordpress installs for clients. Most users only keep it because it is just there by default. For the majority of sites, they really should be deleting any default content.

@bhubbard AFAIK This should be done by WP-CLI

wp post delete $(wp post list --name="$(wp eval 'echo sanitize_title( _x( "hello-world", "Default post slug" ) );')" --posts_per_page=1 --format=ids)
wp post delete $(wp post list --post_type=page --name="$(wp eval 'echo __( "sample-page" );')" --posts_per_page=1 --format=ids)
wp comment delete 1
wp option update blogdescription ""
wp plugin uninstall akismet
wp plugin uninstall hello-dolly
wp theme delete twentyfifteen
wp theme delete twentyfourteen

Right after installation.
