How Do You Delete Calendars and Address Books?
Community meeting on IRC 15th September 2022
#2

Is it the case for various accounts ? Which account did you notice it about ? Exchange ? CalDAV ?

#3

It is an Exchange account. I had to delete it because of authentication problems (not related to SFOS).

#4

And another precision maybe also : are the events still visible in the calendar after account deletion ?

#5

No, they are not visible.

#6

Ok, thank you for the details. I’ll try to see if I can find an idea.

Normally here is the code path when deleting an account:

  • in Buteo, when the account is deleted, the plugin responsible for the sync is called and it’s cleanup() function is called.
  • the sync plugin cleanup should call a deleteNotebook() function from mKCal to cleanup the data.
  • the deleteNotebook() is listing all events related to the notebook and schedule them for deletion.
  • after all events have been deleted, this list of incidences is passed to a function called clearAlarms() in mKCal.
  • for each events, the timed daemon is contacted to clear the alarm related to this specific event.

That’s why I asked precisions : the cleanup function is in the sync plugin (here I cannot check, this is proprietary software), if an event is not in the calendar anymore, it should have been removed from the alarms also. So I need to figure out how events can be removed without associated alarm being removed also…

Another question : do you know if only some alarms remain (meaning that some have actually been removed) or globally all of them are still pending. To list alarms, use:

timedclient-qt5 -L
#7

Only some alarms remain.

#8

Interesting, thanks. One last question, maybe, do you notice a pattern on the remaining alarms ? In case could you post the output of the timedclient-qt5 -L command ? Or PM it to me ?

[defaultuser@XA2PhKNoir ~]$ timedclient-qt5 -L

@phklrz, are you still experiencing this?

#11

@pherjung asked me the same question some time ago. The problem seems solved for me.

Thanks for reiterating it again here @phklrz. @pherjung did kindly pass the info on, but I didn’t see it stated publicly on the forum so thought I’d better double check.

Given this I’ve tagged it as “fixed”, but if it does recur, please do flag it up again and I’ll create an internal report about it.
