When trying to delete a recurring event from a user-owned calendar (not Google, not network ical) I get the message "An error occurred when writing to the calendar Susan's Calendar / Error code: MODIFICATION_FAILED"

In the error console I get the following 2 lines:

There has been an error reading data for calendar: Susan's Calendar. However, this error is believed to be minor, so the program calCalendarManager.js:969:13 will attempt to continue. Error code: 0x80004005. Description: ID is null for deleteItem

An error occured when writing to the calendar Susan's Calendar! Error code: MODIFICATION_FAILED. Description: calCalendarManager.js:966

Why am I getting this error and how do I delete this event?

I've had this kind of error before, the only solution for me was to completely remove the calendar and reinstall it.

In my case I also had to export all events then delete the event from the exported file, then create the calendar again by importing the cleaned filed..

That work and was pretty easy to do. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know! Don't forget to mark my post as the solution.
