How Do I Permanently Delete Reminders on iPhone?
The Reminders app on iOS 15 is a helpful tool for creating a to-do list or keeping up with things you don’t want to forget, but occasionally you need to clear it out, so it doesn’t get too bulky, or you may have created a reminder you later find you don’t need. Either way, deleting reminders only requires a few steps. To permanently delete a single reminder, follow these instructions.
Reminder App Settings
In addition to the Delete option, you’ll also find options for Details and Flag.
Details: Tapping Details will open an editing screen that lets you add Notes or a URL, change the date and time the task is due, add tags, a location, show the reminder when messaging with someone, flag the reminder, add a priority, change the list the reminder is assigned to, or add subtasks or images to the reminder. If you make any changes on this screen, be sure to tap Done when finished to save your changes.Flag: This option adds a flag to your reminder to help you remember it. It also automatically adds the reminder to the Flagged reminders list.
How Do I Delete All Reminders?
Deleting all reminders can mean a couple of different things. You might be trying to delete all the reminders in a specific list, or you might be trying to delete all the reminders you’ve completed. Each has slightly different steps to accomplish.

How to Delete a Whole Reminder List
If you don’t mind deleting the whole reminder list, you can also use this method.
