Hi! I see you're trying to delete a recurring event in Artful Agenda but it's not letting you. To help you out, could you please tell me:

1. Are you trying to delete just one occurrence of the event, all occurrences, or all future occurrences from a certain date onward?
2. Are you accessing Artful Agenda via the web or the mobile app on your Windows device?

This info will help me guide you through the right steps specifically for your case. Let me know!

I want to remove the recurring event forever.. I'm accessing Artful Agenda on my windows pc.

Thanks for clarifying that you want to delete the recurring event entirely and that you’re on your Windows PC. Let’s go through the steps to remove the recurring event forever in Artful Agenda:

1. Open Artful Agenda in your browser on your Windows PC and go to your Calendar view.
2. Find the recurring event you wish to delete.
3. Click on the event to open the event details.
4. Look for the option related to recurring settings or repeat pattern.
5. When you click delete or remove, the app usually asks if you want to delete:
- This occurrence only
- All occurrences
- This occurrence and all future occurrences
6. To remove the recurring event forever, select All occurrences (or similar wording).
7. Confirm the deletion.

If you do not see this option, or if the event is not deleting, it might be syncing from an external calendar (e.g., Google or Outlook) outside of Artful Agenda. In that case, you’d want to:

- Delete the recurring event directly in the source calendar (such as Google Calendar or Outlook).
- Once deleted there, sync your Artful Agenda again to see the changes reflected.

Would you mind checking if the event is coming from an external calendar? I can guide you on how to verify this if needed.

Are you able to see those delete options for recurring events? Let me know where you get stuck, and we’ll figure it out together!

I think I know what happened. I'm just recently installing Artful Agenda. The event that is present is an event from a google calendar about 5+years ago. I cannot find it by going back year by year. I think I'll try to rename it to something that is recurring on a Friday. any ideas?

Thanks for sharing more details! Since this recurring event dates back 5+ years and is from your Google Calendar synced into Artful Agenda, renaming it within Artful Agenda won't make that change permanent because Artful Agenda syncs with the source calendar.

Here's the best approach to handle it:

1. Go directly to your Google Calendar in a web browser (go to calendar.google.com).

2. Locate this old recurring event. Because it’s from years ago, try:
- Using the search box in Google Calendar with keywords from the event.
- Switching the calendar view to a list view (Agenda view) for easier scanning.
- Filtering to show past events or adjusting the date range.

3. Once found, edit or delete the recurring event directly in Google Calendar.
- If you want it to recur differently (e.g., every Friday), update the recurrence pattern there.
- If you want it removed entirely, delete all occurrences.

4. After making changes in Google Calendar, return to Artful Agenda.
- Go to Calendar Settings > Manage Calendars.
- Refresh the Google account sync to pull in the updated calendar info.

Since Artful Agenda syncs with Google Calendar, deleting or changing events has to be done at the source. Any changes you make directly in Artful Agenda for synced events generally won't push back to Google Calendar and may revert on resync1 7.

If you want a recurring event with a new Friday schedule, it’s best to create that new recurring event directly inside Artful Agenda after you remove the old one in Google Calendar.

If you want, I can walk you step-by-step through searching for and editing this old event in Google Calendar. Would that help?

Great ideas. I don't want to hold you up, but I'll try those things. I'll work on this another day, though because I've got to start dinner for family. Thanks for your help since i'm a 'newbie" for this app.
