Deleting future recurring events

Post by AndyNaki »

Hi, I have accepted a recurring meeting request but the initiator didn't put an end date on and the project is now complete. I can't find away to delete all future occurances without deleting those from the past which I want to keep as a record.
I've tried right clicking a future event but the edit option is greyed out as I'm not the organiser.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this would be welcome.
Thanks

Unfortunately, you cannot modify or delete events that you didn't create yourself. If the creator is in your company or someone with whom you still have a good relation, you might ask them to modify the event.

Apart from that, you have one workaround:
– Open each event and declare yourself busy or non-available.

Extreme measures:
– If the calendar is a local one, you could export the data in an .ics file and edit it manually (easy but tedious if you know what you are doing).
– If the calendar is a corporate one, you might look at a higher authority, which would have read-write access to their calendar, so they remove future occurences of the event.
