Answers.Text: I discovered Civi is copying all current and upcoming events only.  We had "old" events in there because no end was ever inputted.  I am editing the original event with end dates.  Once I start deleting all these "copies", the system then will only copy all new events which will be way more manageable when deleting.  That is all I came up with.

Answers.Text: Hi. It's interesting. Do these events have participants? Is the number of copies related to the number of participants. You'd need to use phpmyadmin or similar to delete, but that's risky (ie if any had participants this would break things) but far better would be a script with an api call. Suggestion: Recruit a partner to fix for you. And make available here what's in your logs. Also report the bug on issues.civicrm.org. Also turn on logging so the timing of their creation can be tracked.

  **TECH RESPONSE**
  It doesn't feels like a CiviCRM Core problem to me but I don't know what else it could be either.
  
  The "Copy of" seems to indicate that it use the CRM\_Event\_BAO\_Event::copy as if used by the Copy action in manage event page.
  
  You may check for any custom code that could contains CRM\_Event\_BAO\_Event::copy or something like that.
