Let’s face it, sometimes you need to cancel a Facebook event. Maybe it was a too-ambitious costume party, or perhaps the venue canceled at the last minute. No matter the reason, it's easy to cancel or delete a Facebook event you created. Canceling means you can’t make any changes to the event, but people can still post on it. Deleting the event deletes everything, preventing anyone from posting. This wikiHow guide will show you how to delete an event on Facebook on a computer and using the mobile app on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.

Quick Steps

1. Tap Events.
2. Tap Your Events.
3. Tap your event.
4. Tap the Edit button.
5. Select Cancel or Delete.
6. Tap Confirm.

Steps

Method 1 Method 1 of 2:

Mobile App

Download Article

1. 1 Tap the hamburger menu icon. This is located in the bottom right of the mobile app on an iPhone or iPad, and at the top-right on an Android. It looks like three horizontal lines stacked on each other.[1]
2. 2 Tap Events. You might need to tap See More on your version of the app. Advertisement
3. 3 Tap Your Events. This will open a list of events you're hosting. Look for the one you want to delete.
4. 4 Tap Edit. This will open a menu with a few event options.
5. 5 Tap Delete Event. This will start the deletion process.
   • Alternatively, tap Cancel Event to start a cancellation process. This allows users to continue to post on the event page.
6. 6 Tap Confirm. The event is now deleted (or canceled, if you chose that option).
   • When an event is deleted, users can no longer post on the event. A notification will be sent to individuals who were invited and didn’t decline.

Method 2 Method 2 of 2:

Computer

Download Article

1. 1 Click Events in the left menu of your Feed. If you don't see it, click See More first.[2]
2. 2 Click Your Events in the left panel. Select Hosting, and then choose the name of your event to open the event page.
3. 3 Click the More ••• menu. This will open an options menu for the event. On the window that appears, you'll have two options:
   • Cancel Event: This option marks the event as Canceled and notifies all guests of the change. You can type a message to provide info about the cancellation to your guests. This event will still be accessible in your calendar, but not as an active event.
   • Delete Event: This option completely deletes the event from Facebook, removing it from all attendees' calendars.
4. 4 Select Delete Event. This will start the deletion process.
   • Alternatively, tap Cancel Event to start a cancellation process. This allows users to continue to post on the event page.
5. 5 Click Confirm to save your changes. Once you confirm, the event will be canceled or deleted immediately.

• Question How do I delete an event from Facebook if an event from another page was added? Community Answer 1. Go to your page. 2. Click events on the left hand side (not the top). 3. Scroll to the event you are looking to remove. 4. Click the black x in the corner to remove the other page's event. If you are not seeing the x, you are in a different view of "Events" probably from the top instead of the left hand side from your initial page. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.
