Summary: This comprehensive guide provides step-by-step instructions for effectively deleting events from your Tithely calendar, detailing the three options available for recurring series—Delete Event (current event only), Delete Future, or Delete Series—to ensure accurate data management.
Before You Begin
- The process begins by navigating to the Event Settings screen.
- If deleting a recurring event, you will be prompted to choose how the deletion affects the series.
- Restores of unintentionally deleted events can be done for up to 30 days.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Select the "Events" tab from the top right.
2. Click the event you'd like to delete.
3. Click "edit event settings" in the lower-left corner.
4. Click "Delete Event" from the bottom right.
5. Choose your deletion option from the prompt that appears:
| Option | What is Deleted | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Delete Event | The current, specific event only (single instance). | Ideal for canceling one occurrence of a weekly service (e.g., for a holiday). |
| Delete Future | The current event and all future events in this series. | Used to end a recurring series from a specific date forward, while retaining all past data. |
| Delete Series | All events in this series—past, present, and future. | Used when the entire series was created in error and all records (including attendance) need to be removed. |
Troubleshooting & FAQs
- What should I choose if I want to cancel our weekly service just for this one Sunday? Choose Delete Event to remove only the specific instance, leaving all other past and future scheduled services intact.
- Can I restore an event if I delete it by accident? Yes, if you unintentionally delete an event, restores can be done for up to 30 days. See the section on recovering deleted data for more information.
- What happens to past attendance records if I choose "Delete Future"? Past events and their associated attendance and volunteer data will be retained; only the current and subsequent events are removed.
