1 Cron event not removed when deleting plugin

    Hi,
    I’ve encountered many (too many) problems recently with WP-Optimize (which I used only to clean the database), UpdraftPlus etc. on multiple blogs I’ve been managing for (quite) a while on different hosts.
    Did tests, with my other plugins on or off, and always the same, so I decided to delete all these plugins of yours everywhere.
    Problem: when uninstalling WP-Optimize, even after removing the settings via the special button, it lets an orphan/no action Cron event behind: wpo_weekly_cron_tasks.
    See image here – 3 first lines show cron events when installed. 4th line shows what’s left after Deactivate then Delete.
    Which means that the Cron scheduler gets “lost” and Site Health says so…
    Even if I delete the event manually, it reappers, meaning it’s hardcoded somewhere…
    1 – how do I remove this cron event once and for all.
    2 – you should review your uninstall process…

    Sincerely
    DJM

    More info:
    As said above, this orphan cron event delays the scheduler:
    “The scheduled event, action_scheduler_run_queue, is late to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended.”
    If I delete the cron event manually, the scheduler works fine. But the event then reappears at the next refresh…

    @didierjm I can confirm that this is a bug.

    We’ll fix this in the next release by updating our uninstall / deactivation process. Thanks for reporting the issue

    OK, Thx, but how do I delete it now?
    I cleaned my repository of all wpo_ files I could find, but the cron event is still there…
    What do I need to change?

    FYI, I removed your apps (UpdraftPlus + WP-Optimize), because they were slowing the sites as a whole, generating frustrating errors of missed Cron schedule in various forms.
    Sincerely
