I set up a "Zap" with Zapier that was supposed to create a Calendar event every time I created a new contact. I added "whenever a contact is updated" to the formula and linked it to my contacts and calendar.

Then I went into my contacts and "sorted" them by location and relationship ("Spokane", "South Carolina", "Clients", etc.) Zapier obediently created a new event (a recurring event, no less) for basically every one of my contacts. (or at least the ones that I changed - which was most of them). So now my calendar has hundreds of events (all at 10 pm) that recur every two weeks...!

I know how to delete them and choose "delete all occurrences" but I would rather not "Select event" "Delete event" "Delete all occurrences" several hundred times!

All of these events have the title "Met [First name][Last name]" as the event title and I can search for "Met" and pull them all up on one screen, but I don't see any way to select multiple events or (better) select all.

Any help would be appreciated! I'm heading over to Zapier now to see if I can create a script to help, but I'm not optimistic... also, I'm pretty sure that creating these hundreds of events caused me to reach my "zap limit" at Zapier.

    You can do it with Apps Script, as shown here. If necessary, use search options of getEvents method to pinpoint the Zapier-created ones.
