Clear Google Calendar: Here's how

You can quickly create and delete a calendar in the Google calendar. You cannot delete your main calendar, but you can delete all the appointments it contains. Please note, however, that you cannot undo these steps!

Delete a Google calendar

1. Open the Google Calendar page.
2. Click the drop-down arrow next to "My calendars".
3. A menu opens. Click here on "Settings" (see picture).
4. Now you will find a list of all calendars that are linked to your account. You have the "Cancel Calendar" and "Delete" options on the far right.
5. Choose one of the options and confirm that you want to delete / cancel the calendar:

• "Cancel Calendar" removes the calendar from your account, but the calendar still exists for other users. This means that you can add this calendar to your Google calendar again at a later date.
• "Delete" deletes the Google calendar completely and for all users.

Delete all appointments from the main calendar on Google Calendar

Proceed as described above and go to the settings of "My calendars".

1. Click "Delete" next to the first calendar in the list, your main calendar.
2. You will be asked whether you really want to delete all appointments in the main calendar. Check "Yes" and confirm "Delete all appointments" (see picture).

Now your calendar should be completely empty and you can start to create a new one. Tip: In this practical tip we will show you how you can synchronize your Google Calendar with iCal. Find out how it all works with Thunderbird here.
