      Moodle should check if the first recurring event exists before providing the option "Delete all" to the user.

      By modifying:

      file calendar/lib.php, function count_repeats()

      ...
          /**
           * Return the number of repeat events there are in this events series
           *
           * @return int
           */
          public function count_repeats() {
              global $DB;
              if (!empty($this->properties->repeatid)) {
       
                  // verify if the event exists
                  $event = $DB->get_record('event', array('id' => $this->properties->repeatid));
                  if($event) {
       
                      $this->properties->eventrepeats = $DB->count_records('event', array('repeatid'=>$this->properties->repeatid));
                      // We don't want to count ourselves
                      $this->properties->eventrepeats--;
       
                  }
              }
              return $this->properties->eventrepeats;
          }

      OR
      calendar/delete.php, the section that check repeated events

      // If there are repeated events then add a Delete Repeated button
      $repeatspan = '';
      if (!empty($event->eventrepeats) && $event->eventrepeats > 0) {
       
       
          // verify if the event exists
          $repeatedevent = $DB->get_record('event', array('id' => $event->repeatid));
          if($repeatedevent) {
       
              $url = new moodle_url(CALENDAR_URL.'delete.php', array('id'=>$event->repeatid, 'confirm'=>true, 'repeats'=>true));

      Test1

      1. Add a repeated event to calendar (Site pages>calendar>new event)
      2. Goto the day in which the first event of the series appears
      3. Click on delete for the first event
      4. Make sure you are able to delete the event without any issue
      5. Goto the database table events and make sure the "repeatid" column for rest of the entries of the series points to next event of the series.
      6. Now visit any other event of the series and try deleting it. Make sure you can delete it without any issue.
      7. Try deleting the complete series and make sure you dont get any errors and events are deleted.
      8. Test it in more than one database.
        Test2
      9. add following line to your config.php after the line in which $CFG->dirroot is defined

        $CFG->calendar = 'cal';;

      10. create a folder 'cal' in your calendar dir.
      11. copy the attached file to the just created folder.
      12. follow step 1-3 above
      13. make sure the script dies echoing the id of the next event in the series (next to the event just deleted)

      Note:- you might notice other un-related errors. See linked issues for further details.

      Deleted single event from a recurring series, first event, then attempted to 'Delete all' from the same recurring series and received error message "cannot find data record in database table event'.Unable to delete this series of events using 'Delete all' function.

      Moodle should not display "Delete all" when the first event is deleted to avoid this error.

      Replication steps:

      1. Create a recurring event, where "Repeat weekly, creating altogether" should have 3 or more
      2. Select first recurring event from calendar
      3. Click 'Delete' icon from event listing
      4. Delete event screen is displayed
      5. Click 'delete' button to delete single event.
      6. Screen displays all events from the recurring series except the first deleted event
      7. Select next recurring event from calendar
      8. Click 'Delete' icon from event listing
      9. Delete event screen is displayed with the option to "Delete All"
      10. Click 'Delete all' button to delete all recurring events
      11. Screen displays error "cannot find data record in database table event"
