 * Hi!
 * Is the previous plugin still active? If yes, most likely it’s adding the cron
   every time it sees it’s not defined. In that case you won’t be able to remove
   it.

 * I tried another plugin called ‘Advanced Database Cleaner’ and it worked instantly.

 * May I ask what was the plugin which added this cron job you’ve been trying to
   remove?

 * Hi,
 * Oh, I just seen your response.
 * Today, I forgot what was that. Maybe I will try to repro next time and update
   if it doesn’t work. Rest, it’s great to have this plugin.
 * Thanks & Regards,
    Gulshan
