It does not appear that anyone is reading the messages about not being able to delete recurring messages. I have the same problem clicking, double clicking or right clicking does nothing.

Hi,

is there a "delete series" button that I can I add to the ribbon, instead of right-clicking and selecting from a sub-menu?

I have a recurring app't that would let me do anything. I can't open, edit, delete, or move. Just a big red X, CANNOT OPEN THIS ITEM. I don't have permission....

I am also having this same issue. I have tried both deleting the series as well as declining the series. Works for a day and then reappears the next morning. Hoping someone is able to answer, this is extremely frustrating.

I have done as instructed but they mysteriously reappear the next day. I am not the organizer for the series. Does me not being the organizer have anything to do with it? When prompted to notify the meeting organizer of the deletion I chose "no"; should I be choosing "yes"? Please assist me with this as I keep getting a ton of unnecessary alerts for meetings I no longer need. Thank you, Heidi
