But then the clock app is littered with old alarms, like it's just beyond them to create a one time alarm that's deleted after it's done.

Me: "Siri create a one time alarm for 30 minutes" Siri: "The alarm is set for 1:05 AM" ...

It was 12:11AM at the time, seems it misinterpreted asking for a one time alarm as 1 o'clock and added five minutes to it.

"Delete all of my alarms"

I have to say this regularly to clean up the list. There's no other way to do this at once.

But I have a recurring alarm to wake me up each morning Mon-Thu, there is no way to say delete all alarms except the one I want to keep.

You could use the Bedtime as alarm clock. You can set it to specific days. Works well in my experience.

Or Apple could just fix the problem.

In the meantime I love my echo for timers. It just works.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t fix it. But using a workaround until they do is probably not a bad idea. I wouldn’t hold my breath for a quick fix seeing how this is less than ideal for 10 years already.

You can say "delete my inactive alarms" and Siri will not delete your recurring alarm.

By default, Android doesn't seem to keep my verbal alarms around. I like that.
