A reminder for a past appointment kept poping up so I deleted the appointment
from the calander (screen).  The reminder still poped up so I selected open
appointment and deleted.  The reminder still pops up and now I can do nothing
about it.  I tried restarting my computer and the reminder still pops up.

Try starting Outlook one time with the /cleanreminders command.

start->run->outlook.exe /cleanreminders

I have a similar issue with an appointment whichI deleted from my calendar
before clicking the 'dismiss' option, thatcontinues to pop up with a reminder
every time I open Outlook or dock/undock my computer.  Although I completed
the clean reminders step described below, the reminders continue.  Is there
any other method for getting rid of the continual pop ups?

I tried running start->run->outlook.exe /cleanreminders, but on opening
outlook, the reminder appeared again.  When I try to open the reminder, I get
the message "cannot open the reminder. The end date you entered occurs before
the start date."
When I try to dismiss the reminder, I get the message "Could not delete, one
or more parameters is not valid."

I have a reminder that won't delete. The appointment itself has been deleted
but it failed to delete the associated reminder. I have tried the associated
switches

c:[location]\outlook.exe /cleanreminders
c:[location]\outlook.exe /resetfolders

neither of which resolved the issue.

How can I delete this pesky reminder?

Thanks, Ben for the suggestion and quick response. I was hoping for a
solution that wasn't $250 for a renegade reminder. Got any other ideas?
