Outlook – Clear stuck reminder in Outlook 2011 Mac

microsoft-outlook-2011

I've got a reminder that won't go away after dismissing. The calendar event no longer exists. Using Outlook 2011 with an Exchange account.

Any suggestions?

The full solution seems to be:

  1. open Outlook and turn off "calendar reminders" under the Outlook menu drop-down
  2. reboot or log out and back in while holding the shift key to disable startup apps
  3. open a terminal and navigate to the correct folder. On my system, it was:

    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app/Contents/MacOS
    

and then type

./Microsoft\ Outlook /cleanreminders &
