When we run preinst /deljob multiple times on the child sites. We can see the JOB files and TOSEND box will be cleared, however the SRQ files will still remain. We can find the orphaned SRQ files are still processing in the schedule.log (for example below).

We generally sometimes see this issue, when we do a DELJOB. We have to manually remove the SRQ and Instruction files by using a PowerShell script which searches for the deleted site’s SITECODE(Be sure to chance the sitecode before running the script)...
$xyz = gi "I:\SMS\inboxes\schedule.box\tosend\*.*"
#$xyz = gi "d:\temp\*.*"
foreach ($x in $xyz)
{
$Path = $x.DirectoryName +'\'+ $x.name
$a = select-string -pattern "SITECODE" -path $path -casesensitive
if ($a)
{$a.filename
