Deleted the schedule report/alert. 
They keep sending letters to the post office. They are not in the system. empty reports come from deleted scheduled reports. 

Thanks

How did you delete the alert?  If you edited savedsearches.conf then did you also restart Splunk?

If you have multiple Splunk instances did you remove the alert from all of them?

which savedsearches.conf have you checked? There can be multiple savedsearches.conf files depending on the app context and on the permissions set. Have you tried running a btool?

./splunk btool savedsearches list --debug | grep <the info your looking for>

Hope I was able to help you. If so, some karma would be appreciated.

Is it possible someone cloned the alert and that clone is sending the emails? Try searching savedsearches.conf for the email address.

Have you tried restarting Splunk?  It shouldn't be necessary, but perhaps it will help.
