Google Calendar is one of the besttime-planning toolsout there. However, even though it works rather well on the plethora of platforms, it still has a lot of strange issues plaguing it. One of the most common issues concerns disappearance of all (or some) events from the calendar. For some users, this was the problem for ages. Until it suddenly stopped. Others are still unable to solve it and, due to its gravity, they’ve decided to switch to an alternative.

Now, since a lot of users never experienced anything similar, the issue at hand might be on your side. So, make sure to follow the steps we provided below and, hopefully, find the resolution.

How to retrieve lost events from Google Calendar

1: Check Trash

There are multiple reports aboutGoogle Calendardeleting events. By default, even the oldest of your events should still be kept at all times. However, these occurrences are nothing strange for Google’s native multiplatform calendar. Luckily, none of the files will get away for good. They’re, at least most of the time, easily found in the Trash Bin, where all deleted events are stored for up to 30 days.

So, before we move to additional steps, do yourself a favor and inspect Trash Bin found in theGoogle Calendar. Here’s how to do it:

2: Re-sync Google Calendar

If you’ve made changes or created events on another device and now can’t seem to find them on your PC, make sure to re-syncGoogle Calendar. Even the slightest connection issue might’ve caused failed syncing, thus you’re unable to see the events. We recommend openingGoogle Calendaron that alternative device while being connected to a stable network.

In addition, you can reinstall theGoogle Calendarapp on your handheld device and install it again (most devices will restore the app to factory values). After that, wait for it to sync and openGoogle Calendarin a browser.

3: Clear browser cache

First of all, in order to use Google’s services within a browser, you’ll need to have cookies andJavaScript turned on. That’s just Google’s policy. In addition, we suggest removing all add-ons which can, in some manner, manipulate withGoogle Calendar‘s web implementation.

Finally, some users suggested usingIncognito modeon your browser. This might help, but even better way to address the error at hand head-on is to clear your browsing data. Browsing data, like cache, cookies, and cached images can cause issues with various applications.

Here’s how to clear browsing data on 3 most-used browsers:

Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox

Microsoft Edge

4: Remove Google Calendar from all third-party applications

Since Google discontinuedGoogle Calendar for Windows, there were a lot of alternative ways to implement it in third-party applications. For example, you can useWindows 10‘s Calendar app to sync allGoogle Calendars. This seems to be a viable solution, but we can’t be certain whether the third-party app caused the disappearance of Events or the Google is at fault.

For that reason, just to be safe and avoid further justification from the responsible support team, we suggest removingGoogle Calendarinputs from all third-party Calendar applications.

That’s it. Don’t forget to tell us whether the issue is addressed or you’re still unable to locate your valuable events. Give us your thoughts in the comments section below.
