Hi, I've been trying to delete a job, and after clicking the bin button and confirming, the existing merge jobs window is empty. I close the window and go back to add-ons > autocrat > open, and it's there again. No matter what I do, it keeps popping up. I stopped all the triggers, it's also the ONLY job in there, but it's simply impossible to delete it. The document does have an 'importrange' from a another sheet which does have a merge job, but I can't believe it takes it over, and it's not the same anyway. I did get to stop the triggers because it was sending out unwanted mails every hour, I just wish I could remove it completely.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Are you deleting the job while logged into the account that created the job? (make sure you are only logged into this one account)
Also, you can delete it from the hidden "do not delete autocrat settings' tab on your spreadsheet. (go to the 'all sheets' plus sign icon on the lower left hand side of your spreadsheet)
Highlight the entire row for the job you want to remove and then delete it. That should work.
Thanks.

Thanks Amanda!

I did use the same account, but I'm having many tabs open (sometimes in the same chrome window) on different computers. Could that be the reason?
Anyway, deleting the row worked perfectly. Great tip, I didn't know that!

Peter
