If the recurring settings worked correctly, it should have only made enough events for two years, for a total of 104 events.)<\/p>\n<p>I noticed last week on the back end that the event was listed to be happening on the same day hundreds of times, even though on our website it only came up once for that day. When I select &#8220;Edit Series,&#8221; on the next page it says that recurring data is being created in the background and that the total number of events made so far is&#8230; (get this!) 14,000!! Since the beginning of last week, that number has grown to 20,000 total recurring entries of an event.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, all I want to do is clear out that event, recurring entries and all, from our calendar and add it again fresh. What is the best way to go about doing this? I don&#8217;t have 100 hours to delete each entry, and because our website is completely customized, adding plugins is a no-no too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1112374","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Recurring event created 14,000 entries and they need to be deleted -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/recurring-event-created-14000-entries-and-they-need-to-be-deleted\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Recurring event created 14,000 entries and they need to be deleted -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I added an event to our calendar a while ago, probably back in January (so about 6 months ago) and I haven&#8217;t touched it until recently when all I needed to do was change the start time by 30min.
