All cron jobs removed

So I just migrated all the cpanel accounts from one server to another and there was one account with a cronjob that was pointing to somewhere that didn't exist, so I went into that user's control panel and deleted it. I went into list the root's cron jobs and no nothing exists. I know about the crontab -r which I always do crontab -l to avoid this issue. This is a brand new install of whm and cpanel on a dedicated server from Godaddy. Is there any way other than going into /var/log/cron to get these back? Is there a default cron list that anyone can help me get this back? I'm super puzzled why deleting one non existent cron wiped the whole thing! I'm tried searching for a default list (as I think there were 8or 9 in there) Anyone with any ideas?

  Hello, Are you sure the root cron jobs were deleted? Do they not exist in the /var/spool/cron/root file? Thank you.

  @harmonypersechino5348 - can you get me more details on what you're seeing at this time? But no, I would not expect the cron list to be the exact same as a list from 2017.

  I ended up finding this What are the default cPanel cronjobs and what is their purpose?
