I need to delete them but it seems that this request can&#8217;t be fulfilled by the server without creating an error.  <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t even back up the website at this point due to it&#8217;s size with these.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried going into one of the events and deleting it.  It crashed overnight once.  This morning it looked like I was about to move over 3000 of them to TRASH. But I can&#8217;t &#8220;EMPTY&#8221; trash.  Even for individual files that I &#8220;permanently delete&#8221; they are still showing up in the TRASH folder and when I try to delete again it tells me that the file has already been deleted.  So it would seem that I have multiple bad things going on.  But the most pressing is getting rid of those 200,000+ duplicate events.<\/p>\n<p>Attached is a screenshot of a few of the items in the TRASH.  The last two on the page begin the thousands of repeating items.<\/p>\n<p>Suggestions?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks.<br \/>\nMary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1162492","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>Odd recurring events - hundreds created - how to delete -<\/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\/odd-recurring-events-hundreds-created-how-to-delete\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Odd recurring events - hundreds created - how to delete -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I am not sure how I did this but it looks like I created over 200K instances of an event within the Calendar Pro plugin.
