Known Problems:

Why can't I remove events from the calendar?

Working with calendar events that originate from another tool (e.g., Grades, Quiz, Dropbox) can be tricky. 

• Be aware of the Start Date and End Date restrictions of that event. If an event is associated with an item in another tool, such as a quiz, the date restrictions of that quiz can determine when the associated event will display in calendar. 
   
• Be aware of other restrictions. For example, in this particular situation, the items cannot be deleted because they are linked to folders in the Dropbox where the checkbox Add Event to Calendar (optional) is not checked. To remove these items from the calendar, make sure this checkbox is turned on first.
   
• If you are going to remove an item in another tool that is associated with a calendar event, make sure the calendar event is removed first. For example, if you are going to delete a folder in the dropbox, make sure the associated item on the calendar is removed beforehand. If done the other way around, that is, you deleted the dropbox folder first, you will be unable to delete the associated event from the calendar.
