Hi. I’ve taken over a new job and am using a computer that previously belonged to someone else. She left her calendar stuffed with appointments and I am being repeatedly & frequently interrupted with her now defunct appointments. It is very upsetting. Is there any way to sweep clean the entire calendar in one fell swoop?

Please, please, please!

While in the Calendar, go to view & change the view to “events” to get a list.

Click “Edit” then “Select All” and they should highlight.

Click Delete & celebrate.
