Erase Calendar

[maprx]

Is there a way to delete the Calender entries? My calender has 5930 entries and is corrupt. I sync with google thru goosyc and it is a mess. I also sync my treo 680 with the same calender and its all neet and correct. Please help

Well, two choices. Do a backup of the device, wipe it, then restore only certain items, i.e. contacts (address book), tasks, etc...

Alternatively, empty the calendar in Google and on the Treo. Now sync again, thus wiping just the calendar...

or a 3rd choice:
Open Desktop Manager
Connect your BB
Double-click "backup & restore"
Select "advanced"
wait for the "device databases" list to populate
scroll down the list (on the left) until you find "calendar", and then highlight it
click the "clear" button under the list

and voila, your calendar is cleared.

I tried dumping the Calendar in Google and the Treo, but it would not clear the BB

See my post above....it will work flawlessly.

Oh, and just to to be safe, do a full backup of the BB first!

Thanks, it worked to clear the calendar. But it didn't let it sync w/ Google Calendar Sync.

We all know Google calendar won't sync items created before it's installation. There have been a few theories floating around various boards and I tried a couple to no avail.

I'm going to try the trick again but, do a battery pull, then install Google Sync, then re-sync the calendar using DM, then try Google.

Thank you! This helped me fix an issue with duplicate appointments and Google Sync (it was my fault) and not it is fixed!

I had a lot of duplicate entries in my calendar and followed these directions. Now I cannot get my outlook calendar to sync with my device when I use desktop manager. What am I doing wrong?
