Maybe you have a bunch of old events cluttering up your schedule, or perhaps you accidentally imported a bunch of events you don’t need. Whatever the reason, deleting all events from your Outlook calendar can be a daunting task.

My Experience

Recently, I found myself in a situation where I needed to clear my Outlook calendar of all events. I had imported a calendar from a previous job that I no longer needed, and it was causing a lot of clutter on my schedule. I tried deleting the events one by one, but it was taking too long and was incredibly tedious. That’s when I decided to look for a quicker and easier solution.

Tip 1: Use a Third-Party Tool

After doing some research, I found a third-party tool called “Calendar Cleanup” that can delete all events from Outlook calendar with just a few clicks. This tool is easy to use and can save you a lot of time and frustration. Simply download the tool, install it, and then select the calendar you want to clean up. The tool will then scan your calendar and give you the option to delete all events or only events that have already passed.

Tip 2: Use Outlook’s Built-In Cleanup Tool

If you don’t want to use a third-party tool, Outlook also has a built-in cleanup tool that can help you delete all events from your calendar. To access this tool, go to the “File” menu, select “Options,” and then click on “Advanced.” Scroll down until you see the “AutoArchive” section and click on “AutoArchive Settings.” From here, you can select the calendar you want to clean up and choose to delete all items older than a certain date.
