Reminders on the Xiaomi Redmi calendar can be a real headache if they have accumulated too much or were created by mistake. Unlike iOS, where the event management interface is unified, MIUI offers several calendar options (standard, Google Calendar, synchronized accounts), each of which requires a different approach. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to remove reminders, from basic to hidden functions, which are not written even in the official documentation.
The thing about Xiaomi and Redmi is that they often duplicate events between the standard Calendar app and Google Calendar if sync is enabled, which leads to confusion: they delete the reminder in one place and it still pops up. We'll show you how to completely erase the event from all associated accounts, including cloud services, and avoid reappearance. We'll also look at the rare cases where the reminder gets stuck in the system and isn't deleted by standard methods - there are separate solutions for them.
1. Removal of reminders in the standard MIUI calendar
The standard application Calendar in MIUI 12-14 has a minimalist interface, but hides some of the functions behind long clicks.
- Open the Calendar app (an icon with a date on the home screen or menu).
- Find the right reminder in the list or go to the event date.
- Touch the event with one finger and a card with details will open.
- In the upper right corner, press three dots (โฎ) and choose Delete.
- Confirm the action in the dialog window.
If the reminder is repeated (e.g., โEvery Mondayโ), the system will prompt you to select:
- ๐น Delete only this event - erases only the selected date.
- ๐น Delete all events in the series โ removes the entire chain of repeated reminders.
โ ๏ธ Attention: B MIUI 14 after deleting the event may remain in the archive.To clear it completely, go to Calendar Settings โ Archive and manually delete the record.
Double check the date of the event | Check if the reminder is related to other accounts | Screenshot important details (in case of error) | Turn off sync if the reminder is duplicated-->
2.How to remove reminders from Google Calendar on Xiaomi
If you use Google Calendar as your primary, the procedure is different, because events from your Google Account sync to the cloud, and simply deleting your phone may not work. Here's the right algorithm:
- Open Google Calendar (if not installed, download from Play Market).
- Find the event and click on it.
- At the bottom of the screen will appear a panel with options โ select Remove (basket icon).
- If the event is repeated, indicate: ๐น Just this event. ๐น That and all the others. ๐น All the events
Confirm removal.
Important: Even after deleting, an event can remain in the Google Calendar Recycle Bin for up to 30 days to erase it forever:
- Go to the web version of the calendar: calendar.google.com.
- On the left menu, select the basket.
- Find the event, click on three dots and choose Delete Forever.

If a reminder was created through Google Assistant (for example, a voice command), remove it in Google Calendar โ in the standard Xiaomi app it may not appear.
3. Mass removal of reminders
If you have hundreds of old events on your calendar, you can't delete them one by one. MIUI has a hidden mass deletion feature, but it only works for local events (not synced with Google).
- Open the Calendar and go to Settings (cog in the top corner).
- Select Calendar Management.
- Click on the Local Calendar (or other unrelated account).
- In the top menu, the option to Delete all events will appear - confirm the action.
For Google Calendar, mass deletion is possible only through the web version:
- Open calendar.google.com on PC.
- In the left menu, select the calendar you want (for example, โPersonalโ).
- Click on the three dots next to the title and select Settings and Sharing.
- Scroll down to the Delete calendar block โ this will delete all events in it.
Decisions of the order:
- Cache Cleanup: Go to Settings โ Apps โ App Management. Find Calendar and select Clear Cache. Reboot your phone.
- Turn off sync: Go to Settings โ Accounts and sync. Select Google or Mi Account. Turn off sync for Calendar. Delete the event again. Turn on sync back.
- Application reset: Settings โ Annexes โ Calendar โ Warehouse โ Clear the data โ ๏ธ This will remove all local events (not related to accounts)!
What if a reminder appears after a reset?
5. Remove reminders via Mi Cloud (for Mi Account)
If you use Mi Account to sync, events can be stored in the Xiaomi cloud to remove them from there:
- Go to i.mi.com and log in.
- Select the Calendar section (could be called Notes & Calendar in the international version).
- Find the desired event, open it and click Delete.
- Update your phone data: go to Settings โ Accounts and Sync โ Mi Account โ Sync.
Important: Mi Cloud does not have a mass deletion feature, so to clean up a large number of events you will have to delete them one by one or reset the entire calendar through your account settings.
| Deleting method | Works for | Action required | Risks. |
|---|---|---|---|
| The MIUI Standard Calendar | Local and Mi Account Events | Manual removal through the application | The event may remain in the archives |
| Google Calendar | Google Account Events | Removal + cleaning of the basket | Mass removal is irreversible |
| Mi Cloud | Events synchronized with Mi Account | Removal via web interface | No mass removal |
| Clearing the cache | "Hangover" events | Data resetting of the annex | Loss of local events |
6.How to turn off reminder notifications (without deleting the event)
If you need to leave an event on your calendar but turn off annoying notifications, do the following:
- ๐น In the standard calendar. MIUI: Open the event. Click Edit. Scroll to Reminder and select No. Save the changes.
Google Calendar
- Open the event โ Change.
- Click Add Notice and delete all existing ones.
- Save it.
To completely disable notifications from the calendar:
- Go to Settings โ Notifications and Status bar โ Notification management.
- Find a calendar or Google Calendar.
- Turn off the Allow Notifications switch.
๐ก
Disabling notifications doesnโt delete the event itself โ it will stay on the calendar but wonโt bother you.
7. Recovery of accidentally deleted reminder
If you delete an important event by mistake, it can be returned within a limited time:
- ๐น For Google Calendar: Go to calendar.google.com. On the left menu, select the Recycle Bin. Find the event and click Restore.
โณ Recovery period: up to 30 days.
Mi Cloud
- Go to i.mi.com.
- Go to Calendar โ Cart (if the section is available).
- Restore the event.
โณ Recovery period: up to 7 days (depending on region).
For local (non-synced) events, recovery is impossible โ they are deleted forever. Regularly back up your calendar through Settings โ System and Device โ Backup.
