Hello Mark,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
I assumed you were using the ‘The Events Calendar’ plugin.
Please let me know which plugin you are using for creating events so that I can get you the exact steps.

Hello Mark,
Looks like the “Facebook Events Importer” plugin is creating a custom post type to store the events.
While deleting the posts did you choose ‘facebook events’ as the post type?
Please send me the screenshot of all the options that you choose while trying to delete the posts.
Also please post the screenshot of the row in the wp_postmeta table in your database that has the meta_key ‘event_ends’.
I will try my best to resolve this issue for you.
