is it generated from wp? How can I mass delet from wp? lots of old spam accounts I assume

There are a few plugins out there for WP that manage bulk deletes, but I'd also be interested to know how you deleted members?
Are you saying that things like the top posters stats show members that no longer exist in the database?

unless users are deleted from the wp api, we dont know they were deleted, so we cannot remove the additional information we store for users...

can i delete these users from my control panel on hostgator with myphp? How do I delete users that have never visited the site?

I don't know myphp but if it's similar to phpmyadmin then yes you can use it to delete users that have never visited the forum. You should be able to filter out all users in the sfmembers table (it will probably have your own or WP prefix such as wp_sfmembers) by users who's post count is -1. This means they have registered and haven't visited the forum. Also, a user with a -1 shouldn't appear in the 'New Members' list on the forum.
You can also see this in the SP Admin, see Forum > Users > Member Information. There is a 'Posts' column in the middle that shows a person with an X for a user who has never visited the forum.
I would be careful doing this though, I'm not sure how you would separate a spam account from a user who has registered but just simply hasn't visited the forum. You might want to consider other WP plugins which specifically delete spam accounts. Never used so can't recommend, but things like 'User Spam Remover' will bulk delete, and create a backup just in case so you can't really go too wrong.
