 * I recently had to rebuild a site with a clean installed WP.
    There were a few
   default plugins listed, one of which (I think) was called WP Cron. I couldn’t
   find out what it did, and I knew it hadn’t been there on the previous installation
   of the site, so I uninstalled it. I think there may have been another plugin 
   I uninstalled, but can’t remember.
 * I’m now having a problem installing another plugin, and one of the “known issues”
   mentions WP Cron.
 * Was uninstalling WP Cron a bad idea, (did I uninstalling it) and of the default
   plugins, which are significantly beneficial?

 * “WP Cron” is not a “default plugin”. How did you install WordPress? The only 
   plugins installed, by default, are akismet, and “hello dolly”, neither of which
   is activated.
