[gamadv-x] How to get a calendar entry's eventID

[Danie de Jager]

A user created a repeating calendar entry to all the recipients within our instance of Google which I need to delete for everyone.

I printed the user's calendar to CSV and found the IDs to delete but when I search for the calendar using my own account I can still find them.

1. What is the best way to get the eventID to delete a recurring event?

2. Once I have the ID and deleted the event is it deleted or did it go to Trash and will show up when search for?

[Danie de Jager]

After running

gam calendar $emailadress deleteevent eventid $eventid doit notifyattendees

I can confirm that the events were not deleted and no notifications sent:

  Calendar: $emailadress, Event: f0raf82boc31m0u3tij9hf0tqc, Deleted

Calendar: $emailadress, Delete 1 Event

  Calendar: $emailadress, Event: rhkq9mfu55ivil7c4s49u3sqes, Deleted

What is the status?

Danie,

I don't see any API support for emptying a calendar's trash but you can if logged on as $emailaddress.

Hit the gear icon at the top right, select Trash, delete the events of interest.

It is "status: cancelled" but everyone she sent the invite still sees the meeting. The people who cancelled the invite sees it as a cancelled meeting. When new users join they automatically get the entry in their calendar. When I search for it I can still find it. It does not seem to want to go away. :-)

W

hat I'll do is create an unique entry and replicate my steps there to see if I'm missing some step in understanding this.

Danie,

Here is the template of how to permanently delete a list of events.

gam <UserTypeEntity> create calendar summary TempTrash

Note the TempTrash Calendar address

gam <UserTypeEntity> move events primary events <comma separated list of event IDs here> to <TempTrash Calendar address>

gam <UserTypeEntity> remove calendar <TempTrash Calendar address>

Danie,

Here's the solution for next time.

4.60.10

When events are deleted from a calendar, they are moved to the calendar's trash and are only permanently deleted (purged) after 30 days.

A user signed in to Google Calendar can empty the calendar trash but there is no direct API support for this operation. Following a suggestion

here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41043053/how-to-empty-calendar-trash-via-google-services) commands have been added to permanently delete

calendar events. This is achieved by creating a temporary calendar, deleting the events, moving the deleted events to the temporary calendar

and then deleting the temporary calendar.

gam calendar|calendars <CalendarEntity> purge events <EventEntity> [doit] [notifyattendees]

gam <UserTypeEntity> purge events <CalendarManageEntity> <EventEntity> [doit] [notifyattendees]

Commands have been added to empty the calendar trash. This is achieved by creating a temporary calendar,

moving the deleted events to the temporary calendar and then deleting the temporary calendar.

gam calendar|calendars <CalendarEntity> empty calendartrash

gam <UserTypeEntity> empty calendartrash <CalendarEntity>
