WARNING Delete permanently erases the event from every calendar where it appears, including published versions of the calendars. Please consider cancelling rather than deleting events. (It's very difficult to restore an event, and to access any of the information it contains, after it's deleted.) See Cancel, remove, and delete events.

I'm having problems deleting events.

How to delete a single event

1. Click the event title.
2. At the bottom of the add/edit event form, click Delete Event.

Tips

• If the event you're deleting is one instance of a repeating event, you can click either Delete Event to delete only that instance or Delete Series to delete all instances.
• You can quickly delete an event by clicking the event arrow , and then clicking Delete Event.

How to delete multiple events

1. In the calendar list, click the title of the calendar that includes events that you want to delete.
2. Click List above the calendar to see the events in List view.
3. In the list of events, select the check boxes next to the events that you want to delete.

   Tip To select all the displayed events, click ALL above the calendar.

4. From the Select an action drop-down above the calendar, select Delete events, and then click Go.

More Tips

• In List view, if you select and delete one or more instances of a repeating event, only those instances are deleted. Other instances remain on your calendar. To delete the entire series, click the title of one instance, and then click Delete Series.
• In the List view, bulk actions apply only to the events currently displayed. The view is usually limited to 100 events per page. So, after applying a bulk action, you may need to cycle forward to display (and then apply bulk actions to) your future events.
