I need to permanently delete a re-generating job, but I can’t find its source

I have used dbms_job.remove to remove all jobs from dba_jobs, but something is re-submitting a series of jobs every few minutes. I have disabled all triggers and all external cron jobs have been stopped… but more jobs keep getting submitted. I have a single transaction record in v$transaction which is dated July and is very similar to the date/time of the re-generating job. I would like to delete this transaction, but I don’t know how. I am hoping that the overall result of eliminating the job will also delete the transaction. Can anyone please help me track down the source of this resubmitting job and get rid of it? We don’t need or want it and it keeps failing… but the original application developers are no longer with the company and the current group has no idea. thank you for your help.
