There isn't really any such thing as clutter and typically the size issue is a moot point. You'd be talking a couple of MB in most cases.
Whatever has caused your thread_id to no longer be equal to your number of threads is going to be a completely expected behaviour.
It may even be hard deleted threads. It may be that you have set the option on some forums to not include the threads in the board totals.
So, really, whatever it is, it doesn't matter and not likely something you can change, nor is it indicative of anything wrong. It is what it is.

Chris I appreciate your feedback, but this is a bit of an unexpected response. Clutter is a matter of opinion. I think one should strive to maintain as optimized a database as possible. One should not simply accept storing old extraneous information just because it "doesn't matter".
One should not be storing extraneous information at all. The only information in your database is the data that you have chosen to stay in your database. There is no such thing as clutter.
If you do wish to permanently delete threads you have previously decided to keep as soft deleted threads, you can do so using the Batch Update Threads feature in the Admin CP.
