two years ago I created a cronjob which execute a python script to backup stuff. Now, the thing is that this cronjob is still running:
/var/log/cron.log.1:Oct 9 20:00:02 syslogngsrv CRON[28292]: (root) CMD (python3 /tftp/autodetect.py)
/var/log/cron.log.1:Oct 10 20:00:01 syslogngsrv CRON[14596]: (root) CMD (python3 /tftp/autodetect.py)

/var/log/cron.log:Oct 17 20:00:01 syslogngsrv CRON[16946]: (root) CMD (python3 /tftp/autodetect.py)
In syslog logs too:
/var/log/syslog.1:Oct 18 20:00:01 syslogngsrv CRON[3363]: (root) CMD (python3 /tftp/autodetect.py)

The issue is that I can't find it anywhere.
crontab -e and crontab -u root -e are empty.
Also
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/
is empty.
I also tried -u flag with other system users but nothing. There aren't other users manually created by me on the server.
Someone can put me in the right way?
/etc/cron*
grep -R autodetect /etc/cron*
