 * This WP has always been kept updated, but the user did not know manual clean 
   up was required.
 * How do I do this now this late in the game? I have indeed searched and found 
   many other posts about this topic. My uncertainty is that now the taxonomy.php
   has different code than the fix. i.e. the “fixed” code referred to wp_batch_split_terms
 * The taxonomy.php file has since further changed after the original fix and now
   refers to wp_split_shared_term_batch:
 *     ```
                               wp_schedule_single_event( time() + ( 5 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS ), 'wp_split_shared_term_batch' );
               wp_schedule_single_event( time() + ( 2 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS ), 'wp_split_shared_term_batch' );
                       wp_schedule_single_event( time() + MINUTE_IN_SECONDS, 'wp_split_shared_term_batch' );
       ```
   
 * What is the CURRENT solution to purge the entries related to the older /bad code?
