You have two options for removing an event in Apple Calendar for your Mac. The first is to go to your event and click on it – while simultaneously holding the control button.
When the Delete Event option appears, select it.

2. Change the time you want to reschedule your event for; you can tick the all-day: box if it’s going to last for that period of time.
Once you’ve made your desired changes, click anywhere on your screen for the changes to take effect.
Change Your Plans if Necessary With Apple Calendar
Changing and rescheduling plans is easy if you use Apple Calendar. And regardless of the device you use, you shouldn’t have too many problems achieving your desired result. Note that you cannot change certain events, such as public holidays – but you shouldn’t have any issues adjusting things that you’ve added yourself.
You can make as many changes as you want to your events, and keeping these updated as soon as a situation changes is a good idea.
