How to Remove Tasks in Xiaomi Calendar: A Step-by-Step Guide for All Models

Removing unnecessary tasks from the calendar on Xiaomi smartphones seems like a simple operation — as long as you do not encounter synchronization between accounts, duplicate events or suddenly missing reminders. Unlike Google Calendar, the standard Calendar app in MIUI has its own peculiarities: here events can be stored locally, tied to a Mi Account or synchronized with third services. This article will help you figure out how to correctly delete tasks without consequences — whether it is a single event, a repeated meeting or a mass cleaning of outdated reminders.

We'll look at all the relevant ways, from basic deletion through the interface to working with the app cache and recovering accidentally erased data, and we'll focus on synchronization problems that often arise when using multiple calendars (for example, Mi Calendar + Google Calendar). If you've ever encountered a remote event reappearing after a phone reboot, here's a solution.

The instructions are suitable for all current Xiaomi, Redmi and other models. POCO base MIUI 12–14 HyperOS, including Xiaomi’s flagship series 13/14, Redmi Note 12 budgetary POCO X5. Separately, we will analyze the nuances for devices with double firmware (Global/China), where the set of pre-installed applications may differ.

1. Basic task removal via standard calendar

The most obvious way is to remove the Calendar app directly from the app, which works for local events (only stored on the device) and tasks associated with the Mi Account. Importantly, if an event is synced to Google Calendar, deleting it may not work here, as discussed below.

To remove the task:

1. Open the Calendar app on the home screen or in the app menu.
2. Find the desired event in the list or on the timeline. For convenience, use the search (the icon of the magnifier at the top).
3. Tap the event once to open his card.
4. Press three points (⋮) in the upper right corner and select Remove.
5. Confirm the action in the pop-up window.

If the Remove button is inactive or missing, it means that the event is read-only (for example, added through another account or app), in which case, try to delete it through the web version of the calendar or change the access rights in the sync settings.

💡

If the event is recurring (e.g., "Weekly Meeting"), when you delete it, the system will prompt you to choose whether to delete only this instance or the entire series.

2. Remove tasks in Google Calendar (if synchronization is used)

Many Xiaomi users default to sync their calendar with their Google account, in which case events are stored on Google servers and deleted via the appropriate app or web interface, and if you delete a task only on the standard MIUI calendar, it can return after the next sync.

Instructions for the Google Calendar app:

• 📱 Open the Google Calendar app (if not, install it from Google Play).
• 🔍 Find the event in the list or through search (magnifying glass icon).
• 📝 Tap the task, then click on the basket icon (🗑️) bottom-line.
• ⚠️ Confirm deletion. For recurring events, select Only this event or All events.

If the event is not deleted, check:

• 🔄 Synchronization status in Settings → Accounts. → Google → Synchronization of the account.
• 🔒 Access rights: the calendar may be blocked by the administrator (relevant for work accounts).
• 📱 App Update: Older versions of Google Calendar may have bugs with removal.

3. Massive task removal: how to clean your calendar quickly

If hundreds of outdated events have accumulated in the calendar (for example, after importing or synchronizing failures), it is not rational to delete them one at a time. Unfortunately, the standard MIUI Calendar application does not support mass removal, but there are workarounds:

Method 1: Using the web version of Google Calendar

If the events are synced with Google:

1. Open calendar.google.com in your browser on your PC or phone.
2. In the left menu, select the calendar you want (for example, "Personal" or "Worker").
3. Click on the three dots next to the calendar name and select Settings and Sharing.
4. Scroll down to the Delete Calendar block (this will delete ALL events in it!).

Method 2: Application Data Reset (for local events)

⚠️ Warning: this method will delete all local events without recovery.

⚠️ Warning: After the data reset, the Calendar app will return to factory settings. All unsynchronized events, reminders and display settings will be lost.

To reset:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the Calendar (or MIUI Calendar) in the list.
3. Select Warehouse. → Clear the data.
4. Confirm the action.

4 Removing Repetitive Tasks: Nuances and Pillars

Repeated events (e.g., "Salary every 5th day of the month" or "Practice Mondays") require a special approach. When they are removed, the system always asks what exactly to erase: Only this event or All events in the series.

Let's look at typical scenarios:

If you need to change the repetition rule (e.g., move your workout from Monday to Wednesday), don't delete the event!

1. Open the event in the series.
2. Press Edit.
3. Change the repetition settings (such as the day of the week or the interval).
4. Save the changes and select Apply to all events.

💡

Before removing a repeating event, check to see if it is linked to other services (such as reminders in Mi Home or Google Assistant), sometimes deleting a calendar will cause associated automation to fail.

5. How to delete tasks added through Mi Account

If you use your Mi Account to sync your calendar, events are stored on Xiaomi servers, either via the app on your phone or via the web interface. Importantly, when you delete your Mi Account, all associated data (including your calendar) will be lost without recovery.

Step-by-step instructions for the web version:

1. Go to account.xiaomi.com and log in.
2. From the menu, select Services → Calendar (or Mi Cloud → Calendar, depending on the region).
3. Find the right event and click on the basket icon (🗑️).
4. Confirm removal.

If the web interface is not available (for example, due to regional restrictions), use the mobile application:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → Mi Account → Mi Cloud.
• 🔄 Make sure calendar synchronization is enabled.
• 🗓️ Return to the standard Calendar and delete the event from there – the changes sync with the cloud.

⚠️ Note: When you delete your Mi Account, all calendar data (including archival events) will be permanently lost. If you plan to change your device or account, pre-export the events to.ics via the web interface.

Recovery of remote tasks: is there a chance?

If you accidentally delete an important event, the chances of recovery depend on the type of calendar you have:

• 🔄 Google Calendar: Remote events are stored in the Recycle Bin for 30 days. To recover: Open calendar.google.com. From the left menu, select Recycle Bin. Find the event and click Restore.
• 📱 Local events (MIUI Calendar: Recovery is only possible through a backup (if it was created). /MIUI/backup/AllBackup phone-on.
• ☁️ Mi Account: Recovery is impossible – removal is final.The only option is to contact Xiaomi support within 7 days of deletion.
