Can I delete a whole calendar at once?

Umm Yeah... · Thread Author #1 01-16-2008, 12:33 PM

I sync My Blackberry Pearl 8130 with my Google calendar using Google's OTA Sync program and it's worked great. I then sync my Blackberry calendar with two computers, one at home and one at work. At work, I can confirm that I have my Blackberry sync set so that my calendar syncs one way, from device to Outlook. I don't recall what the setting is at home and can't check now but I'm betting that it is set to two way sync. Anyway, it appears that I am now getting a plethora of duplicate entries on my Pearl.

When I look at the duplicate entries, I noticed that they are two different colors and when I looked at the detail of the duplicate entries, one says "Send Using: Work" and the other says "Send Using: Default." I believe the entries that have "Send Using: Default" are from my home calendar. I would like to just delete ALL the entries from this calendar and allow Google Sync to correct my remaining calendar but I can't find a way to delete entries other than one at a time. Does anybody know of a simpler way?

In the Desktop Manager go to the Backup Utility. There is an option in there to remove all the calendar entries and it will basically blank it out. You can then sync with Google or whatever and it will restore it for you.

Is there anyway that this can be done from the phone? I need to do it, but left my cable at home...

Yes, go into the calendar > menu > options type RSET

I'm getting a message that says "There are no OTA Enabled calednars to reset."

I am using BIS, and was wirelessly syncing with google sync.

However, when deleting and resetting my google account (due to the gmail outage) all the calendar entries moved to the 'Default Calendar'.

Any suggestions...

It should still allow you to remove the default calendar that way.

Well what can I say... it didn't.

You do not have any BIS service books on the device?

bryon · #11 03-02-2009, 04:59 PM

I have 3... one for my work address, one for my gmail address, and then the one provided by telus for the blackberry...

Sith_Apprentice · #12 03-02-2009, 05:05 PM

Thats very strange, with BIS service books or even BES it should prompt you for each calendar to be wiped, and the BES will be reloaded from the server.

Dunno... I'll just wait time I'm home and use the cable...

Mine does wipe using REST, it just doesn't say anything, it doesn't prompt for removal, but once that is typed and I exit the calendar and go back in, it is wiped clean.
