How to remove a reminder in the calendar on Xiaomi: all ways (including hidden)

Removing unnecessary reminders in the Xiaomi calendar seems like a simple task — until you encounter a gray button, the event is duplicated after synchronization or disappears from the interface. MIUI Two calendars are running simultaneously: the standard one from Xiaomi and Google Calendar, which often conflict with each other. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to remove reminders, including those that are not obvious at first sight.

Features of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO — Deep integration of Mi Account and Google, which means that the same reminder can be stored in three locations at the same time: in the local smartphone database, in the Mi Cloud cloud and in Google Account. If you delete it from only one source, the event can come back from the dead after the next synchronization, and we'll show you how to clean reminders forever without duplicates and errors.

3. Tap the reminder once to open his card, and it's important not to confuse it with holidays or birthdays, because they're deleted differently.
