Mass delete for Google Calendar events.
I'd love mass delete functionality in Google Calendar search results. The use case is this: I imported a repeating event from iCal, Google Calendar imported it as 100's of individual events, instead of 1 repeating event. Now I have to manually delete each event one-at-a-time. It'd be great if I could search for an event within my Calendar, then use checkboxes, along with a Select All functionality, to delete all of these events. Thanks for listening!!
I’m hopeful!

Inappropriate?I too would like some kind of functionallity to do a global delete of all events so I can start new. In Thunderbird, just show "ALL Future Events", select all, and DEL. It should be that easy in Google also. And Thunderbird also, when importing a ".ics" calendar file, will reject all duplicates. That should also be the way of the Goog.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Deleting all events before a specified date would be a good feature.
Google calendar sync also should be able to exclude based upon date criteria. When I synced to Outlook I had hundreds of long past events from up to four years ago show up in gcal, and had to manually delete them. As I also sync gcal with Nokia N800 mcal, I want some criteria available to keep my mobile calendar trim.

Inappropriate?I would like that too. I had some event repeated 200+ times because of GCalDaemon, and now I have to delete it one by one manually... :/
I’m frustrated and tired

Inappropriate?I have found a solution to this. It is not very pretty but it does work and does make things quicker.
If you use google sync to sync to your outlook calendar then you can download your google calendar, do a search in outlook to find the events you want to remove and then they will be displayed as a list. You can then select all and press delete. Much quicker...hope that helps.

Inappropriate?Unless I am a complete idiot, I think I have found a way to delete multiple(all) events in the gCal. Stumbled on it I must say out of frustration.
So if you go to the settings tab under "My calendars" on the far right you will see "Delete" ....well click it!
This will delete all of the events without deleting the calendar or the settings you have configured. NICE!!!!
Once complete, you can just re-import your calendar that you have exported from outlook, etc.
Not ideal, but works none the less.
Do I get a cookie or something for finding this.

Inappropriate?One word of advice. This only works on your Primary calendar. If you try to use the delete button on another calendar it WILL delete it.

Inappropriate?I trying deleting in my outlook and changing the Google sync to 1-way from Outlook to Google Calendar. Didnt help. To have the ability to delete all events in the google calender itself, either if it will require confirmation is the best option.
thx.
I’m happy
