Hide Past Events But Not Completely Remove Them From DB

Hello. This is a wonderful calendar solution! I have a question concerning past events. I want to hide them in the list and month view, however, not to completely delete them, as I’d like to export all events (past and upcoming) from time to time.

I have seen the thread that refers to The Events Calendar Tweaks plugin, which I have installed. There is the setting to Hide Past Events in Month View, which I have enabled, however, the events are still displayed.

How can I set it so all past events are not displayed without completely deleting them?

Thanks for all assistance!
