Description: Weekly recurring calendar items that have been deleted, are still showing in the calendar - which is odd as when I view my icloud calendar in my phone, my partners phone, online, and in outlook the items are not there. But they are definitely showing still in my magicmirror calendar.

Ive restarted - but this doesnt fix issue. Ive added in new items into the calendar, and these show - so its definitely working - not sure why deleted items are still showing.

Any ideas as to why this might be?

When you download the calendar by url the events are still there?

I have the same issue.

Ical from google calendar

It seems that if you have a recurring event and remove one from the middle, it still shows in the mirror.
For example a recurring event for weeks 18 - 25, and you delete week 23, google calendar no longer shows it, but the mirror still does.

Yes that's what's happened to me. One event in the middle of a reoccurring appointment was deleted but it still shows on mirror - even though Apple calendar doesn't show it

Hi!, some way to debug the problem is what happend with data into url you called. Maybe the events still there and flagged "deleted" or something like data.

I think a good way is downloaded the file .ical the moment this happend.

I believe skipped recurring events (ones that have EXDATE timestamp) aren't skipped in ical.js peterbraden/ical.js#75 which leads to problem in rrule dependency (which may be unmaintaned).

Here is a part of my ics file that has 2 skipped events from the recurring series. They still show up in MM (note the EXDATE values for 12/24 and 12/31 which were "deleted" events):
