A quick google and the status of your event isn't correct if you want it to be deleted: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/356598/delete-calendar-event-using-icalendar-file-import-outlook-2003-problem#357641

Sorry if I am misunderstanding. This is a recurring event.

Let's take this one for example:

BEGIN:VEVENT
CLASS:PUBLIC
CREATED:20160706T161104Z
DTEND;TZID="Eastern Standard Time":20160409T110000
DTSTAMP:20160706T150005Z
DTSTART;TZID="Eastern Standard Time":20160409T090000
EXDATE;TZID="Eastern Standard Time":20160528T090000,20160625T090000,2016070
    9T090000
LAST-MODIFIED:20160707T182011Z

    01000000058BFB8CBB85D504CB99FBA637BCFD6BF
X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:BUSY
X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1
X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE
END:VEVENT

I opened the calendar in Outlook 2016 and deleted the occurrence on 7/9/2016. This is reflected in the EXDATE. This is the only entry in the ICS file of 'Martha Practices'. It seems the status would be 'Confirmed', unless there is an EXDATE - in which there is no event.

I made an if statement in my code which checks to see if the event start date matches an EXDATE. If so, don't show it.
