# Removing a recurring schedule

PADS4 Scheduler allows you to remove **recurring schedules** in two distinct ways:

* **Delete an Occurrence** – Removes only a single instance of the recurring schedule.
* **Delete the Series** – Removes the **entire recurrence definition** and all associated occurrences.

> **Important Distinction**
>
> * **Remove Recurrence**: Deletes the recurrence pattern and converts the selected occurrence into a **standalone schedule**. All other occurrences are removed.
> * **Delete Series**: Deletes the **entire recurring schedule**, including the recurrence settings **and all occurrences**.

***

## To Remove a Recurring Schedule

### Steps:

1. In the **Destinations tree view**, select the **Viewer** or **Viewer Group** where the recurring schedule was created.

2. In the **Calendar** or **Table** view, **select the recurring schedule** you wish to modify.

3. In the **Home** tab on the ribbon bar, under the **Clipboard** group, click the **Delete** button.

4. A dialog will appear asking you to choose between:
   * **Delete Occurrence**
   * **Delete Series**

5. Click **OK** to confirm your selected action.

## Alternative Methods

### Using the Context Menu

1. **Right-click** the recurring schedule.

2. Hover over the **Delete** option in the context menu.
   * Choose **Occurrence** to remove just one instance.
   * Choose **Series** to remove all occurrences and the recurrence rule.

3. Alternatively, hover over **Recurrence**, then select **Remove** to delete the recurrence and keep only the selected instance as a **single, non-recurring** schedule.

### Using the Ribbon Bar

1. Navigate to the **Home** tab.
2. In the **Manage Schedule** group:
   * Click **Remove Recurrence** to remove the pattern but retain the selected occurrence as a one-time schedule.
   * Or click the **arrow** next to **Delete** and select:
     * **Delete Occurrence**
     * **Delete Series**

***

This flexibility allows you to control how and when recurring schedules are modified or removed—either partially or in full.
