An eventful calendar on Xiaomi is a problem that both students and office workers face after a session. Old meetings, reminders of overdue tasks, and duplicating holidays clutter the interface, preventing them from planning a new day. Unlike an iPhone or Samsung, where cleaning the calendar is intuitive, MIUI's firmware hides this feature in non-obvious sections.
In this article โ 5 Proven ways to remove all activities at once, including methods for synchronized Google accounts and local calendars. We'll discuss how to avoid the "failed to sync" error, why some events remain after reset, and what to do if the Mi Calendar calendar freezes when it is deleted by mass. MIUI 14/15, They can clean up events without losing important reminders.
If you use Xiaomi as a working tool, a clogged calendar can cause missed deadlines. For example, old repetition events ("Weekly Planning") continue to duplicate even after manual removal. In such cases, deep cleaning is required, which is not offered by standard settings. Next, step-by-step instructions taking into account the features of different versions of MIUI and models (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Xiaomi 13T, etc.).
1. Remove via MIUI Calendar Settings
The most obvious, but not always working, way is to use the built-in Mi Calendar app tools, which are suitable for local calendars (not synced with Google), but may not work if events are added through third-party services (Outlook, Yandex).
To clear the calendar:
- Open the Calendar app (Date Icon).
- Tap it on. โฎ (three points) in upper right corner โ Choose Calendar Management.
- Click on the calendar you want (for example, Personal or Work calendar).
- Scroll down and select Delete all events.
โ ๏ธ
Note: If the Delete All Event button is inactive (grey), then the calendar is synced with Google Account.
On some models (POCO F5, Xiaomi 12 Lite), instead of the delete button, you can display Reset Calendar. This option only removes the display settings (colors, notifications), but not the events themselves. To avoid confusion, check the version of MIUI in Settings โ About phone.
2.Reset via System Settings (for MIUI 14 and later)
If standard deletion doesnโt work, try resetting your calendar through system settings, which deletes all local events but doesnโt affect those synced to Google or other accounts.
Instructions:
- Go to Settings โ Applications โ Application Management.
- Find the calendar (or com.miui.calendar) in the list.
- Slip it on the vault. โ Clear the data.
- Confirm the action by pressing OK.
โ ๏ธ
Warning: After this operation, all notification settings and calendar color tags will be reset to factory reminders, and if you used custom reminders (like the sound of Alarm 5 for important meetings), you will have to reset them.
On Redmi with MIUI 13 and older, the path may be different:
Settings โ All settings โ Applications โ Calendar โ Memory โ Clear dataSave important events manually (screenshots or export)
Check if your calendar is synced to Google
Close all background apps (especially messengers)
Make sure the battery is charged more than 30 times%-->
3. Mass removal via Google Calendar
If your calendar is synced to a Google Account, previous methods wonโt work โ events are stored on Google servers, not in your phoneโs memory, in which case you need to clear the calendar through the web version or Google Calendar mobile app.
Method 1: Through a browser on a PC or phone
- Open calendar.google.com in your browser.
- In the left menu, find the calendar you want (for example, address@gmail.com).
- Press on. โฎ near-name โ Settings and sharing.

Method 2: Using a mobile application

Note: Deleting a calendar through Google permanently deletes all events, including recurring ones. If you want to save individual appointments, export them to.ics first (in calendar settings). โ Exports).
If events still appear in Mi Calendar after deleting, perform forced synchronization:
Settings โ Accounts โ Google โ Your account โ Sync โ Calendar (on / off)What if Google Calendar is not synced?
4.Use of ADB for deep cleaning (for advanced)
If standard methods have failed and the calendar is still full of events, you can use the ADB debugging bridge. This is suitable for users willing to work with the command line.
Instructions:
These commands will completely reset the settings and data of the Mi Calendar and Google Calendar. After the phone is rebooted, all events will disappear, but synced with Google will return the next update. To avoid this, pre-delete the calendar through the web version (see section 3).

If so, ADB-Commands calendar stopped opening, reset its cache through Settings โ Annexes โ Calendar โ Clear the cache. It won't delete the event, but it will restore the performance.
Alternative methods: third-party applications
If the built-in MIUI tools don't work, you can use third-party utilities. We tested 3 apps that safely delete events without root rights:
| Annex | Functions | Support for MIUI | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calendar Cleaner | Date-by-date mass deletion, repetitive event filter | Yes (including MIUI 15) | Advertising, limit to 50 events in the free version |

6 What to do if events return after deletion
Sometimes, users find that after cleaning the calendar, events return within hours or days, for three reasons:
