Title: How to remove a 'scheduled scan'
Post by: Tommii Foster on April 14, 2019, 02:12:04 PM

Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me with removing this scan that is scheduled as it gives me no option to delete it.

If I can't remove it how can I edit it so it takes less time and doesn't affect anything I'm doing, as it takes ages and slows everything down
