That means someone got as far as Paypal in your checkout process, and abandoned before completing the purchase.

is there anyway to automatically clean all the orders with "Preparing [PayPal Standard]" after certain days.

No. You have to delete them manually. Feel free to write a script that will do it for you. You would then have to fire that script with a cronjob to automate the process.
