How do I delete a scheduled, custom scan that I created?

Running Bit Defender 27.0.30.136 on Windows 10. I created a scheduled scan that I want to delete and just run it manually from time to time(i.e. less frequently than monthly, which is the longest interval allowed). I only see an option to edit that scan- nothing to delete it. How do I get rid of it?


Thanks.

    Hello @clira,

    There is a drop-down menu next to your custom scan with the option to delete. Simply click on the 3 dots to reveal it, as shown in the screenshot:

    It's not there for me. My only option is Edit. See screen clip. Maybe what I have running is a scheduled scan and not a custom scan per se.....but I can't find any listing of scheduled scans.

    Hi,

    The option to delete is unavailable because according to the screenshot, you do not have any custom scans scheduled. The features displayed there are the default ones, quick scan and system scan.

    The question was NEVER about "Custom Scans"!
    The question was about canceling or changing the timing of the Default scans.
    READ the question before answering!

    @TheOriginalFreak I'm sorry?

    The title of this discussion clearly says "scheduled, custom scan". Maybe you had another question?

    Also, this is an old thread, so I think it would be better to open a new discussion and explain your question in detail.

    Thank you
