Do you clean useless calendars in SharePoint?
Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 8 months ago.See historyMost SharePoint site templates contain a calendar list, this will bring lots of useless calendars.
Use the below PowerShell script to clean them:
$site = Get-SPSite("http://<site collection URL>/"); # Specify url here
foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs) {
$lists = $web.Lists
for ($i=($lists.Count-1);$i -gt 0; $i--) {
$list = $lists[$i]
#Write-host $i $list.Title $list.BaseTemplate.ToString()
if ($list.BaseTemplate.ToString().ToLower().contains('events')) {
if ($list.Items.Count -eq 0)
{
Write-Host $list.Items.Count "items in the list" $list.Title '('$list.BaseTemplate') at '$web.Url "- cleaning it!"
$list.Recycle()
#$list.Delete()
}
}
}
}
This script will put the calendars which do not have any events into Site Settings | Recycle Bin:
