Scenarios: Why Google Calendar Events Get Deleted?

• Logging in on different devices

Many Google users’ accounts have logged into different devices such as laptops, pc, tablets, and of course, mobile phones. Sometimes, you notice that when you log in to a different device, your scheduled events vanish, which you updated last time. In this case, the root cause may be that the account is not synced.

• Failure of Synchronization

Google Calendar allows you to manage the activities of your events from any device you want. Sometimes Google Calendar events lose their connection if there were any errors within the Synchronization process.

• Corrupted Cache Files

Google Calendars cache files are damaged, and the result is that your events will disappear. Damaged or corrupted files prevent the calendar events from synchronizing.In this case, if you want to add any changes to your Google Calendar, do not register or get updated.

• Ransomware, Malware, and Virus

The root cause of such problems is mainly viruses and malware, which affect your system, leading to the disruption of your Google Calendar. You need to make sure that you keep your system updated against threats.
