    Hello,

    I’m new to WordPress, so pardon the question that may seem basic to you.

    When selecting con events to delete, how can I determine which cron events are not necessary and can be deleted?

    Thank you!

    Events which have None in the Actions column can usually be safely deleted, they’re often remnants left over from old plugins that you’re no longer using.

    The best thing to do is to check the hook name for each event, for example by Googling each one and to see what comes up in the results, and using that to determine if it’s related to anything you still need.

    Beyond that, it entirely depends on the plugin providing the event. Many plugins will reinstate an event if it gets deleted.
