How to Remove a Scheduled Invitation from Google Calendar (IIUM Account)

If you’ve sent a Google Calendar invite and need to cancel or delete it, follow these steps:

---

Method 1: Cancel the Event (Before It Starts)

1. Open Google Calendar (calendar.google.com).

2. Find the event → Click on it.

3. Click "Edit Event" (pencil icon).

4. Select 🗑️ "Delete" (or "Cancel Event" if it’s a meeting).

5. Choose:

   • "Delete this event" (only removes from your calendar).

   • "Delete for all attendees" (recommended to notify guests).

6. Click "Send Cancellation" to notify participants.

✅ Done! The event will disappear from all calendars.

Method 2: Delete a Recurring Event

1. Open the recurring event in Google Calendar.

2. Click "Edit Event".

3. Choose:

   • "This event only" (deletes one instance).

   • "All following events" (deletes future repeats).

   • "All events in the series" (fully deletes it).

4. Click "Delete" → "Send Cancellation".

⚠️ Warning: If you delete "All events", past instances remain in guests' calendars.

Method 3: Retract an Invitation (If Not Yet Accepted)

If the event is still pending:

1. Open the event → Click "Edit".

2. Remove all attendees from the "Guests" list.

3. Click "Save" → "Send Updates".

4. Now, delete the event (no cancellation will be sent).
