How to delete a note in the calendar on Xiaomi Redmi Note – all working ways

Introduction: Why you can’t delete a note in the Xiaomi calendar

The standard Xiaomi Redmi Note Calendar app (including the Note 10/11/12/13 Pro) is often confusing, because MIUI integrates multiple types of events: notes, reminders, and calendar events that are deleted in different ways. If you try to erase a record but the delete button is inactive or missing, the problem lies in one of three scenarios:

1) The note is linked to a Google account and synced through the cloud – it must be deleted via the web version of Google Calendar. 2 This is not a note, but a date note (e.g., birthday from contacts) that is edited elsewhere. 3 MIUI failure when the Calendar application interface does not display all options. In this article, we will discuss all the methods, including hidden features and workarounds for the Redmi Note on MIUI 12/13/14.

Before you start, check: what kind of record is in the way? If it's a one-time reminder (e.g., "Buy milk"), it can be deleted directly in the notification. If it's a recurring event (e.g., "Salary every 5th day of the month"), you'll need a different approach. Next, step-by-step instructions for each case.

Method 1: Delete the note directly in the Calendar app

The most obvious method is to use Xiaomi's standard Calendar app, which works for local notes that are not tied to a Google account. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the Calendar app (the date icon on the home screen).
2. Find the month in which the note is created. Days with the notes are marked by a dot under the number.
3. Slip the date with a note - the list of events for that day will open.
4. Click on the desired note to open its details.
5. In the upper right corner, press three dots (⋮) and choose Delete.
6. Confirm the action in the pop-up window.

What if there's no delete button? That means that the note syncs with Google. Go to Method 3. If there's a button, but you hit it with an error, try the next method.

Check your internet connection (for synchronized notes)

Close the background applications (e.g. Google Calendar)

Update Calendar app in Mi App Store

Reboot the smartphone (if the note "hangs")

-->

Method 2: Delete through Event Editing

Sometimes notes in Redmi Note are not deleted in the standard way due to the MIUI bug, but they can be edited and saved blank.

1. Open the note in the Calendar app.
2. Click Edit (pencil icon).
3. Delete all text in the Title and Description field.
4. Move the slider to the Never position (if it is active).
5. Click Save. The note will disappear from the interface, but will remain in the database (completely deleted after synchronization).

If the note is still displayed after saving, it is linked to another account (Mi or Google), in which case only complete deletion through the web version of the calendar will help.

💡

If the note appears again after the reboot, try turning off calendar sync in your Google account settings for 5 minutes, then delete the note and turn the sync back on.

Method 3: Delete Notes via Google Calendar (for synchronized records)

Most Redmi Note users don't even know that their notes are automatically synced to Google Calendar, and if you've logged in to a Google account on your phone, all the events are duplicated in the cloud, and you can only delete them via the web version:

1. Open the website calendar.google.com on your computer or phone and log in.
2. Find a date with a note on the calendar. Synchronized events from Xiaomi are usually marked as "From MIUI Calendar".
3. Right-click on the event (or long tap on the phone) and select Delete.
4. Confirm deletion. Changes will be applied to the phone after synchronization (usually within 1-5 minutes).

If the note doesn’t appear in Google Calendar, check:

• 🔄 Is calendar sync enabled in your Google account settings on your phone (Settings) → Accounts. → Google → Synchronization).
• 📱 Do you use the same Google account as when you created a note.
• 🌐 Is there internet access (sync only works online).

Method 4: Remove via MIUI settings (for system notes)

Some notes in Redmi Note are automatically generated by MIUI, such as birthdays from contacts or events from Mi Cloud, which cannot be deleted by standard methods, but you can turn off the display:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find a calendar in the list and tap it.
3. Go to Memory. → Data management.
4. Click Clear Data (this will delete all local notes, but will not affect synced with Google).

⚠️ Note: Calendar will delete all local notes, including unsaved changes. Google-synchronized events will remain intact, but they will have to be re-downloaded the next time you open the app.

If you only need to remove birthdays from your contacts, do so in the Contacts app:

1. Open the contact whose birthday is displayed on the calendar.
2. Click Edit and delete the date in the Birthday field.
3. Save the change. The event will disappear from the calendar after synchronization.

Method 5: Using ADB for forced removal (advanced method)

If the note is stuck in the calendar and is not deleted by any of the above methods, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which is suitable for advanced users and requires connecting the phone to a computer.

You'll need:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed Xiaomi drivers and package ADB Tools.
• 📱 Included debugging by USB on the phone (Settings) → The phone. → Version. MIUI — Tap 7 times, then return to the additional → For developers → Debugging by USB).
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original).

Instructions:

adb shell pm clear com.android.calendar


adb shell pm clear com.miui.calendar

These commands will completely reset the calendar settings and delete all local data.

1. Turn the phone off the PC.
2. Start Calendar app and it will recreate the database.
3. If the note has been synced to Google, it will return after you connect to the Internet (it will need to be deleted via Method 3).

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB It can cause data loss or disruptions MIUI. If you are not sure about your actions, contact the Xiaomi service center.
