Wp Schedule Event same as Cron Job?

  • I have a question.

    I want to basically setup a Cron Job on my website. Where a script is ran every 5 hours which check and deletes something from my database.

    I saw that WordPress had a function for scheduling evens that uses hooks. Is this the same effect as a Cron Job?

    Basically if I use the wordpress event schedule function will it still run even if I am not on the website.

    Thanks.
