Problems erasing repeating calendar events

Submitted by LeftEccoForIQ on 2025/04/15 03:03

With several repeating calendar events I've had difficulties getting them to disappear from the calendar, even though I had never consciously created any exceptions from a series. In particular, there seems to be no effective 'nuke' option to get rid of everything connected with the event / item. I've tried:

1. Delete item(s) - no effect on the particular calendar event though I can now no longer find the item through live search. Which again seems strange as the item text is still in the database somehow, isn't it?

2. Delete all events of the series - no effect though logically it seems like this should do the trick.

3. Delete selected and following events - no effect

Only 'Delete selected event' worked here.

Thanks!

The events behaving as described above also cannot be moved to a different date. When I select a new date and the choose to apply this to all events of the series, the current event does not change its date and stubbornly remains where it is in the calendar.

So it is indeed the case for some repeating events that I can only ever delete one recurrence. So e. g. if it repeats yearly, I can delete the 2025 version but the events for 2026 and the following years will remain in place. Definitely unpleasant...

All of these events are synced with Google by the way.
