Cron, only cron, and nothing but cron, is running uuclean on your
machine, as it does on hundreds if not thousands of other sites.

I suspect that, as root, you are typing

crontab -l

and not seeing any tasks remotely matching uuclean at 23:45 or indeed at
any time at all. That's pretty normal.

But if you now typed

crontab -luuucp

what do you see?
