Recommended Posts

Q1: What is the difference between Mini Calender and My Calender . I'm confused which one to use.

Q2: I see there are two calenders created under My Calenders . I can see them when I click small triangle under My Calender. How do I remove these two calenders ? I don't see Calender removal choice in Calender settings ....I tried deleting calenders from Calender's settings ...but it did not work.

The mini calendar shows you the full month see below.

This can be handy if your main calendar only shows a week or a day at a time, like my own.

You can use this to go directly to a particular date, it also highlights forthcoming events, in this case above the shows bold.

Not sure about the other question, hopefully one of the other members will chip in.

I've just gone and done a test for question 2. I created a second calendar, "TEST." The calendar appeared in my list of calendars. Then I went in to calendar settings where it list all the calendars, and next to each calendar there is an option to "delete." I selected that, it warned me that the calendar would be completely removed, I click "agree" and it disappeared.

EDIT: I have something under the calendar settings called "tasks." That cannot be deleted.

EDIT 2: Did you create the calendars that you are trying to delete?

EDIT: I have something under the calendar settings called "tasks." That cannot be deleted. // I'm also getting this ...unable to delete

EDIT 2: Did you create the calendars that you are trying to delete? //no I did not...it just came automatically.

I want to get rid of default calenders.....its confusing ...i want to create my own calender and get rid of default. .

I'm not sure what you're having issues with. Here is my list of calendars:

When I go in to calendar settings, I see this:

Each of the calendars that I have created I have the ability to remove. The only thing I cannot remove is the tasks option.

Maybe if you show us a screenshot of what you're seeing, we could help better.

I also get "Task" without a delete button same as yours .....is there anyway I can delete it ?

I also get another calender with delete button ....I click delete ...it alerts for data loss ....but finally it does not delete.

If I had to take a guess, I would say "no." There is no way to remove the Tasks.

For the other calendars, make sure you're reading the warning correctly:

You must check the box to get the delete option to appear:

Then the calendar should disappear. If it doesn't maybe try clearing your browser's cache, restarting the browser and checking Google calendar again.

yup...I tried that way exactly.....but it did not delete.

anyway, Can you please tell how do I add a reminder ?

I want an email and SMS to be sent by google calender on 3 March 2013 in the morning by 8.30 AM with a message " Don't miss insurance Premium Today !" .........I'm not sure how do I configure this in the Calender. Can anyone please tell me steps in easy way to do this ?

I suggest looking in to other options, as Google Calendar doesn't seem to be working for you. Maybe add a reminder to your phone?

Thanks for your time.

Could you please tell which option I need choose from your screenshot ?

Is it New Events ? I guess it is because I'm gonna set up a new event ...right ? But I'm worried because it says You won't receive any email notification ....This is confusing.

>>>Maybe add a reminder to your phone?

Reminder to phone ? I guess they won't be cloud based solution then.....I want to set up reminders in internet only.

    • $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.
    • Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.
    • Thanks
    • I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.
    • On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
