Delete appointments

You may need to remove an appointment from the calendar if, for example, a meeting has been cancelled. This is possible in the Calendar view, but care should be taken before proceeding.

Caution Deleting appointments will remove the details from the diary and remove all reminders. However, you can view and reinstate deleted appointments.

To delete an appointment:

1. In the Calendar view, select the appointment you want to remove.
2. On the Home tab, in the Edit group, click Delete.
• You can also right-click the appointment and select Delete.
• You can also press the DEL key.
• If the appointment is a recurring or multiple date appointment, you will be asked which dates you want to delete. Tick the dates to remove or click Select All to remove all occurrences.
• If the appointment has been assigned to multiple people, you will be asked which people you want to remove from the appointment. Tick the people to remove or click Select All to remove all occurrences.
3. Click Next. You will now be prompted to give a reason and description for removing the appointment.
4. In Reason, select the appropriate reason for deleting the appointment and type a description (optional) in the space provided.
5. Click Finish to confirm the deletion. The deleted appointment will be removed from the calendar.
• You can still see all deleted appointments if you click Show Deleted on the ribbon. They appear in grey text.

Tip You can also delete an appointment from within the Client and Matter Details screens. On the Diary tab, right-click an appointment and select Delete Selected Appt/Task.
