Then either:
- Select Appointment > Find Appointment, or
- Press F2.
In the Find Appointment window, enter your search criteria to find all occurrences of a recurring, reserved appointment slot.
Click Search to find all appointments that match your criteria. The example above displays all the Reserved appointments.
From the list of search results, select all the appointments you want to delete.
- To select a sequence of results, click the first result, hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the last result.
- To select multiple results that are not in sequence, hold down the CTRL key and select each result individually.
Enter a reason for the deletion, and then click Delete.
(optional) If the patient had intended to attend in relation to a recall recorded in Clinical, and you had flagged this when their appointment was originally scheduled, you will now be alerted to the fact that this flag will be revertedNote that this prompt will appear only if you attempt to delete the first appointment in the series, as it is this appointment that is initially associated with the Recall.

The recurring appointments are removed.
