In this article I will show you how to automatically remove all “Going” and “Interested” to events, at once and without installing any plugin.
Whatever the reason could be, in this way you will have the cleanest News feed timeline possible.
Free your mind from the clutter. Offline life is better.
Stop pretending to be going at all events. Select. Go. Enjoy.
Disclaimers
Disclaimer: It is needed a simple and short script which you should want to understand before running it, because it has the power to mess up with your Facebook account.

Getting Started
There are three simple steps in between you and the clarity of your Facebook News feed. There is a short script involved, which you will copy and paste into the console of the Developer tools of your browser (Firefox, Chrome) while navigating into the Past events page.
In Short, what you will be doing:
- Get the script.
- Go to the Past events page.
- Run the script within the browser.
1. Get the script
Copy in your clipboard the code of the most recent version of the script from github, or try your luck with this one:
var pleaseRemoveMeEventsPlease = function () {
var doActions = [];
var removeMe = function(idx) {
if (idx < doActions.length) {
doActions[idx].click();
console.log('task:', idx+1, 'of', doActions.length);
setTimeout(removeMe, 500, idx+1);
} else {
clearTimeout();
console.log('DONE. Stop pretending to be going to every event ever.');
}
};
var idx=0;
[...document.querySelectorAll('div[class="_ohf rfloat"] > div')].forEach( (a) => { doActions[idx++] = a; });
removeMe(0);
}
2. Go to the Past events page
-
Go to your Past events page of the Facebook Calendar.
-
Scroll down to have a reasonable number of items to delete (~500 is good).
3. Run the script within the browser
- Press
F12
to open the Developer tools window (Firefox, Chrome). - Select Console.
- Read the security concerns message that the Facebook developers left for you.
- Paste the script into the prompt of the console
- Type
pleaseRemoveMeEventsPlease()
, hit return, and wait until it’s done. - Refresh the page, re-iterate all the three steps.
