How to Completely Remove Notes from Xiaomi Calendar: A Step-by-Step Guide

Notes and events on the Xiaomi calendar can accumulate over the years, taking up space in the device’s memory and creating schedule chaos, especially for users who actively use the built-in Calendar app or sync it with Google Account, Mi Account and other services. Unlike standard notes, calendar events often duplicate, remain after deleting accounts, or even appear out of nowhere after MIUI updates.

In this article, you will find 5 working ways to delete calendar notes on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones, from simple manual deletion to radical methods like resetting sync. We will also discuss why some events are not deleted by standard methods and how to fix them without losing important data. If you encounter ghost notes that come back after cleaning, or the calendar is slowing down due to thousands of old events, this is the guide for you.

Why are Xiaomi calendar notes not deleted?

Before you start cleaning, it is important to understand why some notes persist in the calendar even after being explicitly deleted.

• 🔄 Cloud Sync: If the event comes from Google Calendar, Mi Cloud, or another service (such as Outlook), removing it on your phone alone won’t work – it will return when you update your data next.
• 📱 App cache: Accumulated cache of com.android.calendar or com.miui.calendar can store outdated data that is displayed as "ghost" events.
• 🔄 Duplicate accounts: Xiaomi often has multiple accounts (e.g. Mi Account) + Google, and one event can be duplicated in different calendars.
• 🛠️ Mistakes. MIUI: In some versions of the firmware (especially) MIUI 12–14) there are bugs that cause remote events to recover after a reboot.

If you've tried to delete a note but it's back, check which account it's linked to first, open the calendar event and look at the color tag or calendar name (e.g., Personal, Work, Google account name) to help you choose the right way to clean up.

Method 1: Manually delete notes through the Calendar app

The most obvious method is to delete notes directly in the app, which is suitable for single events or a small number of recordings.

1. Open the Calendar app** (an icon with a date or Calendar label).

For mass removal:

1. Go to Day/Week/Month (depending on MIUI version).
2. Hold one event with your finger, then tick the other.
3. Click on the basket icon (or Delete in the menu).

Make a backup of important events

Check if your notes are synced to the cloud

Make sure you remove events from the correct calendar.

Close other applications to avoid crashes-->

Important! If you delete the notes again, they're synced to the cloud service, in which case you go to Method 3.

⚠️ Note: Some Xiaomi models (e.g. Redmi Note 10 Pro) POCO X3) post-update MIUI 14 may not have a mass removal option. In this case, use the edit mode (pencil icon in the upper right corner).

Method 2: Clearing the cache and data of the Calendar application

If the notes are deleted but returned after a while, or the calendar is unstable, the problem may be in the accumulated cache, cleaning the cache and data will reset all local settings, but will not affect events synchronized with the cloud.

Instructions:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find Calendar** (or Calendar, com.android.calendar).

After cleaning the data, the application will return to the factory settings, and you will have to again:

• 🔄 Connect accounts (Google, Mi Account, etc.).

💡

Before clearing your data, take screenshots of important events or export them to.ics via Calendar Settings → Import/Export (not available on all versions of MIUI).

Method 3: Delete Notes through Cloud Synchronization

If notes are linked to a Google Account, Mi Account, or other cloud service, they should be deleted on the server, not on the phone, otherwise they will be restored with each sync.

For Google Calendar:

1. Open Google Calendar in your browser on your PC or phone.
2. Find the desired event, click on it → Delete (or Edit → Delete).
3. For mass removal: in the left menu, select a calendar → Settings and Sharing → Delete the calendar (remove all events in it!).
4. Return to your phone and update the data in the Calendar app (pull the screen down).

For Mi Cloud:

1. Go to i.mi.com and log in.
2. Select Calendar → Find the Event → Delete It
3. On your phone, turn off and back on sync: Settings → Accounts → Mi Account → Sync.

For other services (Outlook, Yandex, etc.):

• 🌐 Go to the web version of the service and delete events there.
• 📱 On the phone, update the data in the calendar or reconnect the account.

⚠️ Note: If you delete the entire calendar in Google or Mi Cloud, it will affect all the devices where it is connected (tablet, PC, etc.) Before mass cleaning, export the data to the.ics file.

Method 4: Reset calendar synchronization (radical method)

If previous methods have failed and notes keep popping up, you can completely reset calendar sync, which will delete all account-related events, but often solves ghost-related issues.

Instructions:

1. Open Settings → Accounts and Synchronization.
2. Select an account that syncs your calendar to (such as Google or Mi Account).
3. Turn off the Calendar slider (synchronization will stop).
4. Return to Settings → Apps → Calendar → Storage and click Clear Data.
5. Reboot the phone.
6. Turn on calendar synchronization again in your account settings.

After that, all the events will be re-uploaded from the server, if the problem was a local data conflict, the “extra” notes will disappear, if not, check if they remain in another calendar (for example, in the Local Calendar, which is not synchronized with the cloud).

💡

Resetting sync helps in 90% of cases when notes are duplicated or not deleted, but after this procedure you will have to reconfigure notifications and colors for calendars.

Method 5: Remove via ADB (for power users)

If you are an advanced user and are ready to work with ADB (Android Debug Bridge), you can manually clean the calendar database, a method that is suitable for removing “unremovable” events that remain even after the synchronization reset.

Attention! Incorrect ADB commands can damage the system. Use this method only if:

• 🔧 You know what you're doing.
• 📱 Developer Mode is unlocked on the phone and Debugging is enabled USB.
• 💾 You have a backup of the data.

Instructions:

1. Connect your phone to your PC and open the command line (or Terminal on Mac/Linux).
2. Enter the command to check the connection: adb devices Wait for the serial number of the device to appear.
3. Clear the calendar database: adb shell pm clear com.android.providers.calendar This command will reset all local calendar data.
4. Reboot your phone: adb reboot

Once rebooted, all local events will be deleted and cloud events will be rebooted when synced, and if notes were linked to an account, they will return; if not, they will disappear forever.

⚠️ Attention: Teams ADB It may vary depending on the version MIUI. On some firmware (for example, MIUI 13 for Xiaomi 11T) Instead of com.android.providers.calendar, you can use com.miui.calendar.provider. Check the exact name of the package using the command: adb shell pm list packages | grep calendar

How to avoid reappearance of notes?

To prevent notes from returning after deleting, follow these tips:

• 🔄 Turn off unnecessary synchronization: Go to Settings → Accounts and keep sync enabled only for calendars that you are actually using.
• 📅 Use one main calendar: Do not create events on multiple accounts at the same time (e.g. Google and Mi Cloud).
• 🗑️ Clean up old events regularly: Delete past notes every 1-2 months so they don't accumulate.
• 📱 Update. MIUI: Newer versions of firmware often fix calendar bugs. Check the updates in Settings → The phone. → Updating the system.

If you work with a calendar often, consider alternative applications, such as:

• 📅 Google Calendar (more stable than built-in calendar) MIUI).
• 📱 Business Calendar 2 (Extended Event Management Features).
• 🔄 DigiCal (supports widgets and sync with multiple services).

Remember: the fewer calendars and accounts you have connected to your phone, the easier it is to manage notes and avoid duplicates.
