[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1910573, member: 38864"] This doesn't have to be time consuming. In the search box, start with one year at a time. Type in, oh... let's start with 2015 for laughs. Just type in 2015. Highlight everything. Right-click. Delete. Now, that isn't entirely foolproof as you would have to screen the list to make sure you don't capture something by mistake. But here's something that IS foolproof. For starters, make a backup of the calendar, just to be sure. You can export it from the menu. Next, start by setting Calendar to view one month at a time. Go to, oh.... let's say March 2015. Press COMMAND-A to select everything for that month. Then go to the menu: Edit » Delete. And you are done for that month. Now, if the Delete command is unavailable, then there may be a subscription to a calendar service that you need to toggle off. For example, the built in Holidays calendar is overkill for me, so I subscribe to a US Federal Holidays calendar by a 3rd party whose entries can't be deleted. In this case, I just have to uncheck that calendar from the left-hand column. Then I can batch delete as described. [/QUOTE]
