Hello AppleWatchUser2030,


If you're using an Apple Watch, the reminder needs to be deleted on the paired iPhone. Check out that information here:


Set and respond to reminders on Apple Watch - Apple Support


"Delete a reminder, choose a default list, reorder lists

For an Apple Watch that you set up for yourself, you manage some aspects of reminders on the paired iPhone.

  • Delete a reminder: Open the Reminders app on your iPhone, tap a list that contains the reminder you want to delete, then swipe left on the reminder."


If the reminder is with iCloud, you can delete the reminder using iCloud.com:


Create and delete reminders on iCloud.com - Apple Support


"Delete a reminder

WARNING: When you delete a reminder, it’s deleted on every device with Reminders turned on in iCloud settings. If you’re using upgraded reminders and delete a reminder with subtasks, the reminder and all its subtasks are deleted.

  1. In Reminders on iCloud.com, select the list where the reminder appears, then select the reminder you want to delete.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Press the Delete or Backspace key.
    • If you’re not using upgraded reminders, you can also click Details, then click Delete in the Details window."


Kind regards.

Hey AppleWatchUser2030,


Thanks for that additional information. When you attempt deleting the reminder using the steps below from Create and delete reminders on iCloud.com - Apple Support , what happens? Are you able to delete it successfully but it still returns? Or do you run into issues deleting it? This information will help us isolate the cause of the issue a little better.
