unscheduling
Clearing the calendar
Unscheduling is removing something from a schedule or calendar.
You might unschedule a meeting that's no longer needed or unschedule an appointment you can't keep: I unscheduled the dentist and rebooked for next month.
In pharmaceutical regulation, unscheduling refers to removing a drug from controlled substance classifications, making it available without restriction.
