Swift 3 Core Data Delete Object

by

The result of a fetch is an array of managed objects, in your case
[Event], so you can enumerate the array and delete all matching objects.
Example (using try? instead of try! to avoid a crash in the case
of a fetch error):

if let result = try? context.fetch(fetchRequest) {
    for object in result {
        context.delete(object)
    }
}

do {
    try context.save()
} catch {
    //Handle error
}

If no matching objects exist then the fetch succeeds, but the resulting
array is empty.

Note: In your code, object has the type [Event] and therefore in

context.delete(object)

the compiler creates a call to the

public func delete(_ sender: AnyObject?)

method of NSObject instead of the expected

public func delete(_ object: NSManagedObject)

method of NSManagedObjectContext. That is why your code compiles
but fails at runtime.
