 * We have a CRON that is causing issues. Under WP Crontrol the date of next run
   is two days ago.
 * I try to delete it and I get the message that it has been successfully deleted.
   However – it is still on the lists and the CRON is still running.

 * I’m not sure what the problem here could be, I’m afraid. The plugin (or theme)
   which is adding the cron event may have some code in place to re-add the cron
   event if it’s not present.
 * Is cron working normally on your site apart from this?
