Phantom iCal calendar subscriptions won't go away after deleting and iCal missing from Mobile.me..

I had subscribed to my meetup.com calendar via iCal and after a week decided to delete the calendar subscription by right clicking on the subscribed calendar name and clicking delete. However, I still get popups to add events to my calendar for meetup even after I deleted it.

I thought I'd resysnc my data from Mobile.me and overwrite my calendar data on my mac with the data from Mobile.me and the calendar data doesn't even appear in the Mobile.me preferences, though everything else seems to still be there.

Has anyone else had this problem and know how to:

get the phantom calendars to go away forever
get iCal to re-appear in Mobile.me sync preferences

Pretty sure I've got this one. I've been having the exact same problem. I just went to my "Membership and Communication" prefs in their account settings and unselected "iCal Attachments". So far no new mystery appointments.

I suspect this was happening because I'd unsubscribed to the meetup calendar, but when meetup sent me email, including ical appointments, mail would automatically try to put them in ical. Not knowing where to put them, since the subscribed calendar was gone, it prompts for a calendar to add the appointments to.
