What happens when an event is deleted?

End-users calendars

Deleting an event does not remove it from your attendees' calendars unless you use a Subscription Calendar, and the calendar apps are responsible for the syncing time - see here for more details.

Usage stats

If you delete an event that has already had interactions—such as attendees adding it to their calendars or submitting an RSVP—deleting the event will not decrease your "events created" or "event-adds" usage totals. Once an event has been interacted with, it will always count toward your event and event-add limits for the current usage period, even if you later delete it.

In short, once an event has any engagement, it permanently affects your usage statistics for that period, regardless of deletion.

Can an event be recovered?

Events are deleted permanently. The event details/event-adds cannot be recovered.
