Default How delete all calendar entries from Droid?

What's the quick and easy way to clear out my Droid's Gmail calendar?

I sync two/from Outlook and the cloud, and need to clear off my Droid and Gmail to get things back in sync after some changes I've made.

The last time I wanted to do something like this, I emptied (deleted) my Gmail calendar on the web, but for some reason the phone calendar didn't clear out, and I ended up doing a reset to start over...

I'm sure there's an easier way, like removing the account from the phone, but it's the primary account and I don't want to delete my contacts from the phone or cloud.

Any ideas appreciated...

I have root, if that helps...is there a file on the Droid I can delete or replace to clear the Gallery - this is frustrating, I've deleted the calendar entries on Google and did a sync, but the events are persisting on the Droid....

Solution found...someone on Howard Forums, whom I'm forever indebted to, had the answer...

Settings->Applications->Manage Applications>Calendar->Clear Data

I did the clear data on that, all the data in my calendar was still there! Interestingly, when I returned to App Manager and looked at Calendar again, the data field was back to the same number as before I had deleted it (set the value to zero).

So I looked at the list and found there was a "Calendar Storage" app in the list right below the "Calendar" entry.

So I did a clear data on the Calendar Storage" item and voila! By the time I exited app manager and returned to view my calendar, the old, bad data was gone and my phone was populated w/the new, clean calendar data from Google Calendar.

Saved me a factory reset to clear off my calendar so I could start syncing again w/new data. Very cool...
