How do I Delete Old Alerts?

Submitted by viking on 2026/07/30 22:33

I have an item that repeats once/day and I have set the alarm at the time.

I have changed the time several times and I now have a lot of alerts including the old alert times.
I have tried to select "Dismiss: All Reminders" for the old times, but it doesn't help. They keep coming back.

I only want to delete the old alert times (not the item).

You can turn off all reminders for that file (in IQ, Tools > Reminder options).

Also, if you hover over a reminder (or double-click) you'll see the file that the reminder comes from. It is always possible that you have multiple IQ files that have similar reminders

HTH !

1. I do not want to turn off the reminders. I need them.
2. I only work with one file and I only have one item that has the old "ghost" alarms in a single item.

Maybe I need to create new file with a new item, add the alarms and then email the file it to you?
 

I have a related question; Maybe that is where things get messed up. After I edit the daily repeating event and change the time, I am asked:
abc

What is the difference between 2 and 3? IQ often creates a new item with the new time instead of just modifying the existing one...

EDIT: (I promptly deleted the new ones so that I only have one item)
 

How do I ?
