I have more than ten thousand completed reminders stored... everywhere I guess. iCloud and all my devices I suppose. I want to get rid of them. A simple "Delete All" button just wouldn't be Apple. What is the official way to do this very simple task? Thanks.
PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.5 GHz), Mac OS X (10.4)
I had the same problem. I signed into my iCloud account as my reminders are included in my backup. After signing in, the screen displays several icons one of which is the reminders icon which I clicked on. I clicked on "All completed reminders", and an option appeared to delete all reminders. Works great, quick, fast, and easy! Just the way I like it.
I goofed on my answer with this statement, "I clicked on "All completed reminders", and an option appeared to delete all reminders." I forgot to include the word COMPLETED before reminders. Sorry about that!
This extensive thread has some great suggestions to try -- iOS 5: deleting Completed Reminders list
Thanks. I found a lot of these, but I'll try. There IS a "Remove All Completed" button on the website, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Here is a workaround to delete all completed contacts...
1. Turn off icloud reminders on your phone and Ipad using settings> mail, contacts, calendars....icloud account
2. Go to icloud.com and login and navigate to Reminders
3. Delete all the completed reminders
4. Now wait 5-10min
5. Turn the reminders back on on your devices
6. BTW if you leave one of your devices on, it seems to re-populate the other 2.....
7. Also, be sure to wait 5-10min before turning the devices back on.....seems if you do it sooner the completed reminders re-appear!!
that's it...not elegant but it works!
This works great, thanks.
