What happens when a user account is deleted and the domain is configured to automatically cancel calendar events?

When a user account is deleted in a Google Workspace environment configured to automatically cancel calendar events, future events on that user's primary calendar are canceled automatically after a specific period, which is commonly set to 21 days. This practice allows for a grace period during which any upcoming events can be adjusted or transferred to another user if necessary.

The rationale for such a delay is to provide a buffer for other participants in those events to adjust their schedules or reroute their calendar entries to another user if needed. During this time, the events are not immediately erased, allowing for any necessary actions to be taken by either the organizer or the participants before final cancellation occurs.

This behavior maintains better usability for those relying on calendar event information, as abrupt cancellations can lead to confusion among attendees. Understanding this process helps administrators and users manage expectations and plan for potential changes in their scheduling.
