# Cannot remove cron event

 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to remove wp_split_shared_term_batch from the cron events. Could be
   a leftover from WP 4.2. It looks like it runs every 2 minutes but the Recurrence
   says Non-repeating.
 * How can I remove this Cron event because I don’t have or going to get any shared
   terms?

 * Thanks for the report.
 * If you click the `Delete` link next to the event and it reappears afterwards,
   this unfortunately means that WordPress core is re-rescheduling the event.
 * I’m not very familiar with the logic around when this event gets scheduled, it
   might be that the `finished_splitting_shared_terms` option never got set?

 * Thanks a million times, that was it “finished_splitting_shared_terms option never
   got set?”
