In this guide, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to delete your dates with Calendly. By following these simple steps, you can quickly cancel or reschedule your appointments with ease.
First, you will need to log in to your Calendly account. Once you are logged in, you will see a list of your upcoming appointments. To cancel an appointment, simply click on the “Cancel” button next to the appointment you wish to cancel. You will then be prompted to confirm your cancellation. Once you confirm, the appointment will be cancelled and the invitees will be notified.
