Hi.

I'm trying to delete old calendar items (I have a few years' worth) in Outlook and was wondering if there was a way to delete only non-recurring items as I need the recurring events for the future.

I tried View > Arrange by > Current view > Category and figured that I could manually check and delete any calendar items by hand. Is there a more efficient way to do this without having to actually script code?

Thanks for your time!
