 Opening a ticket here for potential security vuln caused by plugin that
 has since been disabled. I was unable to get an answer to the problem from
 the plugin sub-forum.

 **PROBLEM:** Elementor Plugin creates "preview" pages that remain in
 service even after disabling the plugin.
 **SPECIFICS:** Ghost Elementor pages most likely left over from drafting
 the page.
 **EXAMPLE:** `https://www.example.com/?elementor-preview=7&ver=1618188909`
 **LINK WP SUPPORT:** https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ghost-pages-
 elementor-preview/#post-14346655
 **VERSION:** WordPress 5.7.1 running Zita theme

 Please advise where/how to resolve this issue if bug ticket is not the
 correct path for the problem.

 Thank You.
