 * Hey,
 * After installing the `WP Control` plugin, I noticed that Rank Math was creating
   an empty Cron job `rank_math/redirection/clean_trashed` (once daily) with no 
   action.
 * The cron job is always recreated, even if you delete it.
 * Is it normal?
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@agima](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agima/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support.
 * That cron job is created on a daily basis to run this function in the plugin:
   `
   RankMath\Redirections\DB::periodic_clean_trash()`
 * The above function clears the redirections that are in the trash for more than
   30 days.
 * Hope this helps.
