  Hey there! If you have command line access, either as root or as your cPanel user, you could use the "rm" command to remove those files. If they are a very large number of these files (several thousand) you may need to use a more advanced command to take care of that. One thing I don't like to do is post commands that will delete data on the forums, but I would research the "rm" command and see if that takes care of things for you.

  Step 1: Log into cPanel. Step 2: Open the folder where cron files are stored. Step 3: Right-click on the icon of cron files and select delete.

  I don't think the user wants to delete the entire directory as there are likely other contents in there they want to keep.
