Deleting old calendar events

Is there any way to delete old events from the calendar, eg. from 2007 back for instance? This includes iphone, mobileme and home computers.

Depends entirely on the calendar app you're using. On the iPhone, no. But, if you are syncing via iTunes, there's a checkbox to eliminate syncing of events older than a certain number of days. Outlook (Windows) has an archiving tool which can delete old calendar events. iCal (Mac) does not.

Trying to use Automator to delete old Calendar Events

I am trying to use Automator to quickly delete all Calendar events prior to a specified date. I use Find Calendar Events to successfully find all of the events prior to a certain date. I check the results and they are good.
Then I use Delete Calendar Events and I receive the following error:
"Delete Calendar Events failed - 1 error
The event cannot be deleted. (0)."
This happens no matter when I set the prior date.
My calendar is an Exchange calendar and is not shared.
Any ideas on what to try?
Screenshot attached.

Yes, I can manually delete them. I can also use Outlook to delete them multiple at a time from a search list.
I agree with you, I don't think Automator is the problem, I think there is some permission setting I must be missing, but no clue what.

How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone?

How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone? It allows me to "edit" the event but not to totally delete it. Or at least I can't seem to find a "delete" option anywhere!

Did you create the event somewhere else? A lot of time when u create it on lets say PC or mac, you wont be able to edit it unless its from the same device.
Its also possible its created under a mail account. I would suggest making all your events via icloud, then u should be able to edit it on all platforms regardless on which device made the event.

How do I delete a calendar event (repeating daily forever) that I accepted on my iPhone from a mobileMe iCal invite?

Hi,
I'd like to know how to delete a calendar event from my iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar. The event was sent to me from a mobileMe synced iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar and for some reason it was set to daily repeat forever.
The event has been deleted from the originators calendar now, but the result has not been propagated to my calendar, despite an update being sent out. When I attempt to accept it just hangs and doesn't update in my calendar.
More annoyingly, the event doesn't have an edit button in my calendar, so I cannot delete it (and all other occurences) myself.
Any ideas on how to remove it?
Thanks,
Rich

A workaround. Not perfect but it gets rid of it.
Do the below link's steps and then deselect that calendar from view.

What do you mean? You can't delete the Calendar app.
Just how did you delete the event?

Sync: old calendar events deleted from Exchange

Hi,
we have 8 users of Blackberry 8330 who are synchronizing with Exchange 2003 via Outlook 2007 and Blackberry Desktop Manager v5.0_b028.
For most of them, all is fine, but two users recently noticed that all non-recurring calendar event older that 2 months have been erased from Exchange. Moreover, one of these users noticed this morning that an event that she could see yesterday in Outlook, dated 2009-11-07, was erased this morning during the synchronization.
What can be happenning here, and is this behavior configurable?
Regards,
Marc Delisle

I found the problem was a setting on the SLVR for deleting events in the phone's datebook after the set amount of time passed.

How do I eliminate old calendar events in my 8703e?

I currently have 913 calendar entries in my 8703e (about 2 years worth). Documentation says to go into Calendar Options and then Keep Appointment Option to set the retention period. But I can't access the latter. Any ideas on how to delete the old calendar entries?

if you are sync your device with the pc through blackberry desktop manager is too easy, connect the device, open DM, go to sync, in sync options change to sync only futures events
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.

Delete old calendar items on iCloud

Hello,
we are using the calendar on iPad Mini synchronizing the entries with iCloud. We can deactivate old calendar items but this doesn't delete them. How can we delete old entries from the calendar (e.g. older than 3 months) and therefore, also delete them from the iCloud storage?
Kind regards,
Mike

On the next sync, you can choose to replace all events on the iphone.
This option is found at the bottom of the info tab in itunes.
Befor you use this, make sure that any events on the iphone have ben moved to the computer.
Hope this helps.

I accidently deleted my calendar events on my iphone 4s. can i get them back

I accidentally deleted my calendar on my iphone 4s. Is there a way for me to retrieve the events?

From your backup.

Deleted iCloud calendar events keep reappearing

The other day I was trying to subscribe to a shared calendar (schedule for a baseball team). Instead of subscribing I ended up importing the ICS file into my main iCloud calendar. (This happened on the iPad) Unfortunately this means 160+ events, basically one a day from May-September.
I determined that deleting was quickest using iCal on my Mac. But after deleting the events in iCal, the changes did not propogate to my iPad or iPhone calendars.
So I tried on the iPad. I even did a test by deleting one event, and watching it automatically delete on the iPhone. I should point out here that up to now I have not had any problems with iCloud calendar syncing. So then I proceeded to delete all the events on iPad. But still the events persisted on my iPhone!
Just now I deleted one month of the events from my iPhone. I went to the next month, deleted a few more, and when I went back to look at the first month (July), the events had re-appeared.
OKAY HAHA GUYS VERY FUNNY THE JOKE IS ON ME?
I've logged into icloud.com and I see the events are still present there. If I double-click the event, it gives me the message "coudln't load event details". This only happens for these events, not all my events. And the delete buttons is greyed out! Not sure how to get these events out of my iCloud calendar now.
It makes me wonder if iCloud has some logic built in to roll back changes, if too many calendar modifications happen in a short period of time, as a way to prevent unintentional mass-deletion?

I'm having a similar issue trying to delete entire calendars. They keep re-appearing after I delete them! Happens in Calendars on Mountain Lion and in iCloud website (normal and beta)

Delete a calendar event

I can see how to add an event, but can't find anywhere how to delete a cancelled event.

Jim I know how you feel. The stock calendar doesn't give me the options I need like that either. There is an app called aCalendar in the Playstore that is excellent. It let's you customize each recurring event and also let's you customize how you want the event to occur.
I like the widgets as well.
Another option for your quick solution is to change the alert or delete that one appt using your computer. You can do it online.
