Clear ALL completed reminders in iOS 13 reminders app or iCloud

Here is a screenshot of the shortcut - only 2 steps. Recreate this in the Shortcuts app and you should be good to go. If you have lots of completed reminders you will be prompted a couple of times to make sure you really want to delete them.

Let me know if you run into issues.

Hi. I posted a screenshot above of the shortcut I use to clear all reminders, and it should work. Please post a screenshot of your shortcut? You might have it configured to only clear one list.

Hey there iamkapy,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having issues deleting completed Reminders on the iCloud website. I’ll be happy to help with this.

To verify, if you mark the reminders as completed on your iPhone, are they not syncing with your iCloud account as expected?   If not, I would restart your iPhone and make sure you’re connected to a good know network (cellular or Wi-Fi) and see if they sync.

If you haven’t updated to iOS 13.1.1 yet, there was a fix introduced in this update for an issue that could cause Reminders to sync slowly. You can read more about this here:

About iOS 13 Updates

As for deleting your reminders on the iCloud website, I don’t see an option to clear all of them at once. Instead, you should be able to select the reminder you want to delete, then press the Delete or Backspace key on your computer and this should clear the reminder and all its subtask as well. You can read more about this here:

Create and delete reminders on iCloud.com

If this does not resolve the issue for you, you can to reach out to Apple Support using the following link to continue to look into your options:

Hi, on iOS you can create a simple shortcut that will remove all completed reminders from all lists. You can also add it to your widgets so you can use if as often as you like with a single tap. Happy to share this shortcut if you’re interested. I use it regularly.

This does not work. It only clears the completed reminders from the Daily list. I have add ALL my list to the shortcut, and it never clears them. This is beyond frustrating at this point. Epic fail on Apple's part.

Is there no longer a way to delete all the completed reminders at once? I have lots of them and deleting them one by one is very tedious!

That would be great! Can you share it? Thank you!

Could you please share the shortcut? Thanks!

This answer is unhelpful.
