Calendar event deletion spam #1902

Closed preserved-killick closed 5 days ago

Version # 2.10.0.0

I have OGCS installed on multiple computers. I have a profile set to mutually sync outlook <--> google. On my home PC every time OGCS syncs, it tries to delete a huge number of calendar events. I do not understand On my office PC this does not happen. I have checked and double checked the sync and application settings, and they appear to be identical.

What could this possibly be attributed to? Here are pictures of my settings. I have tried reinstalling the application, creating a new sync profile with default settings. Something I would like to try but can't figure out, is to de-connect OGCS from my outlook email, and reconnect it. How do I do that?

Hi @preserved-killick

Unfortunately, screenshots are of very limited help - the log file is the only thing of real substance to troubleshoot issues. Meanwhile:

What is the Outlook account you are syncing? An Exchange mailbox or something else?
You said OGCS is on "multiple computers" - how many, and do they _all_want to make large scale deletions except for the office PC? I'd suggest reducing the problem to 2 machine: your work install which is OK and your home install which apparently is not.
Where are the deletes being requested for? Outlook or Google?
Assuming Outlook is the "master" and deletions are requested for there, have you followed guidance for fixing stubborn unwanted deletions?

Oh my gawd thank you so much. The 'fixing stubborn unwanted deletions' guide worked. I had to sync google-->outlook, then mutual sync. I had done some searching and perusing but had not found that, thank you for pointing it out to me.
