    Delete Multiple Activities?

    Is there a way for me to delete multiple cancelled activities?  I had put a meeting on the google calendar for three of my users, and set it to repeat annually for each of them, but in error did not select an end date.  When I realized there were approximately 660 meetings set up for each of these users, I went into google and deleted the event for each person, choosing to delete the entire repeat series.  However, Method only has the option to "cancel" an appointment that has been deleted from Google. So I was left with almost 2,000 activites in Method that are marked cancelled.  I would like to delete the whole lot of them, but can't find an easy way to do that.  I did customize my Activities List so they don't show up, but I would much prefer to delete them.

    Hi Maureen,

    You could create a custom screen to loop through your Activity table and delete all records where ActivityStatus = 'Cancelled'. You would have to be careful, as an error in the customization could lead to unwanted loss of data. Backing up your Activity table first using the Import / Export Tool would be recommended.

    Let me know if that helps.
