    Hello ruthmof 

     

    the category entry still exist, until there is no entry for this category. 

     

    I have checked this and i can reproduced, after i delete all items with my deleted category, the the entry will disappear.

     

    Check the categories in the allitems view, it's a default view with a good overview:

    https://<TENANT>.sharepoint.com/sites/<SITE>/<LIST>/AllItems.aspx 

     

    Best, Dave

Hi David,

 

Please may you advise how I can find all items, I'm having issues with calendar categories that I think your solution below will resolve but I cannot find the way to viewing all items - I tried using your code below but I don;t know what is meant by TENANT and what I should replace this for.

 

Many thanks,

 

Rachael

Hello Rachael390 

 

you can derive it from the url, Tenant is your M365 environment, all before .sharepoint.com .

 

Best, Dave
