Should have distribution db clean up job, ensure it runs in schedule without error.

Something like 'Distribution clean up: distribution' on distributor.

This is the history:

Removed 0 replicated transactions consisting of 0 statements in 50 seconds (0 rows/sec). [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 21010). The step succeeded.

Never does it say "Removed >0"

Did you check distribution db's recovery model? How big is its log file? Is distribution agent running?
