How can I delete old calendar items in Talon?

Remove dates from the Date Manager tool

1. With the course open, click on Course Admin > Manage Dates
   
2. Here you will see a list of ALL the dates currently set in the course. You can click the trash can icon to delete individual items, or select the items you want to remove from the calendar and click Bulk Edit Dates at the top of the list.
