### Details

The method can also take the second parameter:

- **silent** - (*boolean*) if set to *true*, **deleteEvent** will work only on the client-side, and won't trigger any server calls:

~~~js
// removes the specified event only from the client-side
scheduler.deleteEvent(id, true); 
~~~

Usually, the second parameter is used for server-error handling purposes.
