  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-16)
  
  I have a site which has 100's of pending "Deleting oldest 404 redirects" tasks and they keep stalling so the list isn't clearing.
  
  The client has added lots of custom rules to the `.htaccess` which I will need to investigate, could this be the cause?
  
  Is there a way I can remove all the pending/stalled tasks manually?
