 * Hello,
 * I have noticed that I have cron schedules from plugins that I am not using. In
   the cron schedule tab, it says ‘The schedule is added by another plugin and cannot
   be deleted’
 * Does it cause any issue with the site performance?
 * Should it be deleted? How?

 * You don’t need to worry about cron schedules because they’re only registered 
   at runtime in PHP so they don’t, for example, take up any space in your database.
 * If you deactivate any of the plugins that register these additional schedules
   then they’ll disappear.
