Tap the event that you'd like to delete.
Tap on Delete Event — it's all the way at the bottom.

That's all there is to adding, editing, and deleting Calendar events. Now you can fill up your calendar, form a cocoon, and very soon emerge as a social butterfly! Or, something less visual and creepy. Whatever.

How to get travel times with Calendar for iPhone and iPad

The Calendar app can help you figure out travel time to an event, but a location will have to be attached to the event for you to get an exact time. Otherwise, you'll just have to choose a time frame between 5 minutes and 2 hours. Your calendar event also must have a set start time. You cannot set a travel time for events that are listed as "all day."

Launch the Calendar app from your Home screen.
Tap on the event you'd like to calculate a travel time for or create a new one.
Tap on Edit at the top right.
Tap on Travel Time.
Turn On travel time.
Tap on Starting Location and tell Calendar your starting location either by entering an address or the name of a place or business.
Tap on Based on location for either driving or walking directions.
Tap on Edit Event at the top. Travel time will appear under Starts and Ends.
Tap Done.

How to move a calendar event or appointment on iPhone or iPad by dragging and dropping

If you need to quickly change the time of an event or appointment in your iPhone or iPad's Calendar, the today view gives you an incredibly easy way of doing so by dragging and dropping instead of entering into edit mode for each event you need to change.

Launch the Calendar app from you Home screen.
Toggle list view off at the top if it isn't already.
Tap on the day you need to switch things around for.
Tap and hold on the event you need to change the time for. It will change to a darker color.
Drag the event to the time you need to move it to and release it when it's at the correct time.
