Delete Option	Description
1. Event	this will delete the entire Paradigm Session/Event and all the appointments under it
2. Series: [Day and Time]	this is the suggested way to delete the whole series of the appointment. If you will choose this option, it will only delete the appointment selected but not the whole Paradigm Session.
3. 1x appointment on dd/mm/yy	this will delete only the specified appointment date. If selected, the Paradigm Session/Event and all the other appointment dates will remain except for the one specified in the button.
