    Apologies for the naive question but could you elaborate on whether it’s safe to run crons off-schedule or delete them? It seems like if I delete all of them the necessary ones would just be recreated, is that not correct? I’m debugging something and seeing a lot of ‘no action’ ones, so I’m wondering if I should just clear them all and let them regenerate.

    As a general rule it’s ok yes, but the real answer is it depends on the plugin that adds the event. Some plugins might only reschedule an event when you activate it, some might correctly do so immediately. There’s no way for WP Crontrol to tell.

    Take a look at the plugin FAQ for some more info about deleting events.
