Remove Duplicate Appointments in Outlook

Step 2

Use your mouse to select one of the tabs labeled "Day," "Week" or "Month" that are located along the top of the window. Try them all, and then select the one that gives you the view of the calendar for which you can most easily access the duplicate appointment.
