Delete recurring event for orphanage event

[bambang priantoro]

Hey All,
Quick question about handling orphaned calendar events. From what I've gathered, it seems like we can't transfer event ownership if the original organizer's account is long gone (correct me if I'm wrong here). So, I'm looking at either transferring these events to a new owner or just wiping them from everyone's calendars (which I need some help to, how to get the participants list).

Here's the catch: I've only got the event ID, the deleted organizer's email, the event title, and the calendar ID. Not sure how to proceed with this info alone.

Any tips or steps you'd recommend? Your advice would be super helpful.

Thanks a bunch!

I have run this GAM command :

gam calendar john...@domain.com deleteevent eventid 2fplg7l5fdkbu2gojrrii84lh4 doit

This command delete the calendar event that created by Jane...@domain.com that has been deleted, but since its recurring, it's only delete 1 event not the entire recurring events, can someone help me?

Thank you.

Hi Bambang,

You might want to export and filter the event name first using this command (make sure all of those events are recurring one)

gam user <User Email Address> print calendars showhidden todrive

Once it is done, you can run this command (make sure the calendarId column contain calendarId)
gam csv gsheet <User Email Address> <File ID> <Sheet Name> gam user <User Email Address> delete calendar ~calendarId

Thank you

Best Regards,

Hi Fadhli,

thank you for the advices. unfortunately, there's no way to change the ownership of the event or calendar if the owner was deleted.

finally I export all participants based on the calendars id and then stored it in txt file.

after that, I'm running the gam command to delete the calendar from all participants calendars.

Thank you once again.
