Erase/delete iCal event

Hello,

I have entered an event to ical, which repeats itself everymonth.
I want now to erase it.
I click on the event, then I click on Delete in my keyboard. I get a dialog box asking me If I want to delete all future event. I click to OK and the event is not erased. It continues to appear.

How can I convince this event to disappear forever.

TIA

iMac 24 Mac OS X (10.5.8) iPhone 3G 3.0.1

try going into ~/library/preferences/ then look for a file called com.apple.ical.plist move this file to the desktop, restart your ical. Before you move this file to the desktop make sure your iCal is quit. After the move, reopen the ical app then try deleting the event

This really worked for me. I just got anew iMAC for Christmas and did a migration from my slowly dying G-4, 9 years old. I had been syncing with a Palm for a while....The migration caused all the old calendar info to populate the iMAC....... I have always been nervous going into the libraries....
I spent over an hour deleting years of events that were "reoccurring"...what a pain to get a reminder from something 7 years ago! The process was tedious but worth the time.
Your advice was easy and it worked. I am beginning to wonder if I should have done the migration assistant at all, I have had to clean up so many things!!!
