delete_all_deleted_events.sql
/*
With events that were imported via iCal, when deleted the calendar still
remembers them a bit so they don't get reimported. This SQL Query will truly
delete all those events.
The query and steps below is modified version of that in this tutorial:
http://wpguru.co.uk/2013/02/how-to-bulk-delete-posts-in-wordpress-with-mysql/
It is recommended that you read the source article above before proceeding.
In particular it mentioned the importance of making backups before running
SQL queries. :)
