Modern Events Categories

[beshr1993]

I have a page where I want to add events that users can see and join. In my company, these events have two categories and I want users to filter only by these two categories (by Category, I mean the option available when adding  new event as you can see in this link). However, SharePoint provides a bunch of default categories (e.g. Gift, Anniversary, Work hours, etc.) that the user can select from and which I do not want (see below).

Is there any way to remove them and keep only my desired categories? Please note that I found a thread  that seems possibly to address the same problem (see here). However, the suggestions given require changing lists through Page Properties, an option which I don't seem to have in the first place (see below)!

Please help :folded_hands:

Thanks

Events are stored in a calendar list so go to the calendar list and just edit the category column to remove unnecessary values

@Juan Carlos González Martín Hi, how do I navigate to a calendar list?

You can find it under Site content of the site under the name Events

Thanks!

@NicolasKheirallah I am sorry, I am not able to see a way to Edit the Event Categories. The list gives me a category called "Anniversary" how do I delete this?

I do not see it either. If I change the view and add the "Category" column, I can filter by what's there and change the sort order. If I select an item when in list view, I can "Specify your own value," but that doesn't help my clients when they're creating new events themselves. I'm still investigating though!
