removing a snapshot agent.

I have a snapshot agent that I cannot get rid of. The publication did
not exist, so I went into distribution.MSsnapshot_agents table and
delete it. When I refresh the snapshot agents folder, it is gone. At
some point, the damn thing gets recreated.
I am not using dynamic snapshots. It is a simple transactional pub.
What is recreating this agent? How can I stop it for being recreated?

A stray snapshot agent job that runs periodically may be re-creating the
snapshot agent entry in MSsnapshot_agent. Can you check whether there is a
snapshot agent job step in sysjobsteps that doesn't correspond to any known
publications?
