We made the mistake of adding a few unnecessary users to Google Courses in bulk. Now they have calendars for all the courses. We were able to use gam to remove them from the Google Courses, but we would also like to use gam to unsubscribe them via csv from calendars. That said, it looks like our options is to delete the calendar from the user. Does this perform an unsubscribe (great!), or literal deletion of the calendar (we don't want that)?

Tim,

gam <EmailAddress> delete calendar <CalendarItem>

This does not delete the calendar, it deletes the calendar from the user's list of calendars.

What command would I use to show all calendar for a user? I can't seem to get the correct formatting.

Good morning,

Is it possible to restore a deleted calendar from Classroom?  We were troubleshooting an issue with a teachers' calendar and they were not showing.  I thought by deleting and reading the calendar, she would be able to see them, since she had over 60 calendars.

@ross.scroggs
I feel terrible and want to help her to restore the calendar.  Please let me know if this is possible using ADV-XTD3?

Thank you,

Jay,

These commands add/delete a calendar from a user's calendar list, there don't affect the calendar itself.

These commands add/delete calendars.
