Delete events and calendars

Delete one event, a series or a whole calendar, and what happens to links and subscribers.

You can delete a single event, a whole recurring series or a whole calendar. Deleting is permanent and cannot be undone from your dashboard, so check what you are removing first.

Delete an event

  1. Open the event and go to the Edit Event tab.

  2. Click Delete at the bottom of the page.

  3. Confirm with Delete Event.

You can also click the three dots on the event in your event list and choose Delete. To delete many events at once, use bulk delete. See Organize and manage your events.

Recurring series

Deleting the parent event of a recurring series deletes every date in the series. The confirmation says "This will also delete all events in the series." To remove just one date, delete that occurrence instead.

Synced events

Events synced from an external calendar cannot be deleted in AddCal. Delete them in the source calendar, and they are removed from AddCal on the next sync.

Delete a calendar

Deleting a calendar permanently deletes the calendar and every event in it. Move any events you want to keep to another calendar first.

  1. Click Calendars in the sidebar and open the calendar.

  2. Open the Settings tab, scroll to the bottom and click Delete Calendar.

  3. The dialog asks "Are you absolutely sure?". Click Delete Calendar to confirm.

You can also click the three dots on the calendar's row in the Calendars list, choose Delete, and confirm with Delete calendar.

What happens after you delete

  • The event or calendar link stops working.

  • Calendar subscribers lose the deleted events the next time their calendar app refreshes the feed.

  • People who added a single event with an add-to-calendar link keep their own copy. AddCal cannot remove it from their calendar.

  • Deleted events and calendars cannot be recovered from the dashboard. AddCal never deletes events you created yourself; the only events removed automatically are synced events that were deleted at the source.

Deleted something by mistake?
