For the life of me, I cannot find a way to delete, cancel or remove facebook events I created & updated using the FB PHP SDK & the Graph API.
I've tried every single permutation found on facebook's documentation & stack overflow...
Here are some of the clues I have found on my quest..
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/#deleting https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/event/ https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/events.cancel/
Facebook SDK and Graph API Comment Deleting Error
Facebook Graph API - delete like
Here is what I have tried so far.
function delete_fb_event($event_data, $data)
{
//load the user for offline access and userid
$user = $this->load_user($data['aid']);
if(!empty($user[0]['fb_offline_access']))
{
//instantiate Facebook API
require 'facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'BLAHBLAHBLAH',
'secret' => 'BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH',
'cookie' => true,
));
$fb_event = array(
"access_token" => $user[0]['fb_offline_access'],
);
$result = $facebook->api('/'.$event_data['fb_event_id'], 'DELETE', $fb_event); //Uncaught GraphMethodException: Unsupported delete request
//$result = $facebook->api('/'.$user[0]['fb_id']."_".$event_data['fb_event_id'], 'POST', array('access_token' => $user[0]['fb_offline_access'], 'method' => 'delete')); Uncaught OAuthException: (#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist
//$result = $facebook->api('/'.$event_data['fb_event_id']."_".$user[0]['fb_id'], 'POST', array('access_token' => $user[0]['fb_offline_access'], 'method' => 'delete')); Uncaught OAuthException: (#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist
//$result = $facebook->api('/'.$event_data['fb_event_id'], 'POST', array('access_token' => $user[0]['fb_offline_access'], 'method' => 'delete')); Uncaught GraphMethodException: Unsupported post request
//$result = $facebook->api('/'.$user[0]['fb_id']."_".$event_data['fb_event_id'], 'POST', array( 'access_token' => $user[0]['fb_offline_access'], 'method' => 'delete' )); Uncaught OAuthException: (#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist
return $result;
}
else
{
echo "error3"; //no FB offline access
}
}

Hey Peter, I tried running your code and I'm sorry to say I didn't have much success either.
My first guess was that you probably did not have the extended permissions - for deleting an event, you need to have to create_event permission
Although I tried with that, I keep getting the #200 Permission Error
On further digging I ran into a similar bug that was reported
http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12777
Interestingly - although this bug has been marked as resolved - if you read the comments, users are still reporting the same issue.
Sorry wasn't able to offer much help. Good luck
