Deleting a Calendar Event

What it does

Delete a calendar event from the event detail screen. For recurring events, you choose whether to delete just one occurrence or the entire series.

How to use it

Deleting a one-time event

1. Tap the event on the calendar to open its Detail view.
2. Tap the ⋯ (ellipsis-horizontal) icon in the top-right corner to open the Event Actions menu.
3. Tap Delete Event.
4. The event is deleted immediately and a "Event Deleted; The event has been deleted successfully" notification appears.

Deleting a recurring event

1. Open the recurring event's Detail view.
2. Tap the ⋯ icon → Delete Event.
3. An alert appears: "Do you want to delete this event or all recurring events?" with three options:
4. Delete This Event: removes only the current occurrence. Past and future events in the series remain.
5. Delete All Recurring Events: removes the entire series (past and future).
6. Cancel: no action taken.
7. Tap your choice. The deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

Permissions

Only the event owner (creator) has the option to delete an event. If you're a guest, the Delete Event option does not appear in the actions menu.

Tips & shortcuts

• Deletion is permanent: there is no bin or recovery for calendar events. If you're unsure, consider editing the event to add a cancellation note to the description, or removing guests rather than deleting.
• If a recurring event is deleted and guests were invited, they receive cancellation notifications automatically.
