Ever wonder how to get rid of an entire recurring set worth of instances without having to delete them one by one?
The answer is here!

You can delete a recurring set by taking the following steps:
For example purposes we have used the Listen & Win module, but the same rules apply to other recurring set modules.

Delete the inactive instances of the Recurring Set first:
1.Navigate to Points Modules>>Listen and Win
2.In the lower section labeled "Upcoming", find the Listening Appointment that needs to be deleted and click on its title
3.Click the "Edit Recurring Set" button
4.On the Display Tab, scroll down and click "Delete This Item and Future Ones" (This will delete the entire recurring set for that Listening Appointment).

Now delete the remaining active Listening Appointment:
1.In the top section labeled “Active”, find the Listening Appointment that needs to be deleted and click on its title
2.DO NOT click the "Edit Recurring Set" button
3.Click on the "Setup" tab and change the start date and end date of the item to a date in the past (this will remove this item from the site)
4.A message will appear at the top of the setup tab stating “That GetPoints instance is closed.”
5.Navigate again to the main Listen and Win module page by going to Points Modules>>Listen and Win
6.A dialog box will pop up with a message stating you have unsaved changes.
7.Click "OK".
8.The Active instance of the Recurring Set has been deleted.
