Fix multiple entries of same repeating event

When I enter a repeating event in Google Calendar it adds another event each day for the repeat event until the last event has one addition entry per day for the same event. How do I fix this?

**Here are a few possible reasons and solutions:**

1. **Incorrect Recurrence Pattern:**
* **Double-check the settings:** When creating a recurring event, ensure you've selected the correct recurrence pattern (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) and the desired end date or number of occurrences.
* **Avoid Overlapping:** If the recurrence pattern overlaps with existing events, it might create duplicates. Adjust the settings to prevent overlaps.

2. **Time Zone Issues:**
* **Verify Timezone:** Make sure your Google Calendar's timezone is set correctly. Incorrect timezones can sometimes lead to duplicate events.
* **Check Device Timezone:** Also, verify that your device's system timezone is set correctly.

3. **Calendar Sync Issues:**
* **Check for Errors:** If you're using Google Calendar on multiple devices, ensure that the calendars are syncing properly. Look for any error messages or synchronization issues.

4. **Third-Party Apps:**
* **Disable Integrations:** If you're using any third-party apps or integrations with Google Calendar, temporarily disable them to see if they're causing the problem.

**If you've tried these steps and the issue persists, you might want to:**

* **Clear Google Calendar Cache and Data:** This can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.
* **Try Creating a New Recurring Event:** See if you can create a new recurring event without encountering the same issue.
* **Contact Google Support:** If the problem continues, reach out to Google Calendar support for further assistance. They might be able to provide more specific troubleshooting advice or identify underlying issues.

**Remember to provide as much detail as possible when contacting support, including the recurrence pattern you're using and any error messages you're encountering.**

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the duplicate event issue!
