How to Delete a Personal Calendar in Outlook

You can delete personal calendars in Microsoft Outlook.

Microsoft Outlook, a comprehensive email desktop client, also provides calendar capabilities that let you keep track of multiple events, meetings and appointments. Outlook has a default calendar that appears when you open the program. However, you also can create additional personal calendars to use for specific things, such as personal appointments or sports schedules. Each additional calendar appears along with the default calendar in the Navigation Pane in Outlook. You can't delete the default calendar, but you can delete personal calendars in the Navigation Pane.

Things You'll Need

• Computer running Microsoft Outlook

Instructions

1. Open Microsoft Outlook and scroll to the Navigation Pane.

2. Select a personal calendar you want to delete under "My Calendars."

3. Right-click the calendar name and click "Delete [calendar name]" on the shortcut menu.

Tips & Warnings

• Create a new personal calendar by clicking "File, New, Calendar" while in the Calendar section of Outlook. If you are elsewhere in Outlook, such as Mail or Contacts, click "File, New, Folder." In the "Create New Folder" dialog box, enter a name for the calendar. Under "Folder Contains," select "Calendar Items." Click "Calendar" under "Select Where to Place the Folder." Click "OK." The new calendar will appear under "My Calendars" in the Navigation Pane. Select the check box next to a calendar to view it.
