I Deleted an Event but Its Clone Is Still There

When you delete an original event, OneCal removes its clones from the target calendars, usually within seconds. If a clone stays behind, walk through these checks.

Check the sync status

Open the Calendar Sync dashboard:

• Paused: A paused sync does not process changes, so clones stay as they are. Un-pause the sync, and it re-runs automatically to catch up. See Manage Your Syncs.
• Error: The last run failed. Click Re-run Sync in the three dots menu.

Check the Last Detected Change

If the Last Detected Change of the sync is much older than your deletion, OneCal may not have detected the deletion. Occasionally a change on Google or Outlook goes undetected, more often when someone else made it. Click Re-run Sync, which goes through all the events again and removes stale clones.

Make sure you deleted the original, not another copy

If the same event exists on several calendars as separate originals, for example because it was manually copied before you started using OneCal, deleting one copy does not remove the others or their clones. See I See Duplicate Events.

Still stuck?

Re-run the sync once more. If the clone is still there, contact our support team with the sync name and the event's date and time.
