Q: Removing 'Family' list from reminders and calendar

A while ago I had turned on Family Sharing in an attempt to synchronize my personal and work stuff.

 

I have abandoned the work iCloud address, and now use solely my personal address.  In the process, I removed the work address from family sharing, then disabled family sharing.

 

In my reminders and calendars app, there is still a "Family" listing.  How can I remove this?

 

Thanks much!

    Greetings alexia416,

     

    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you setup Family Share with your personal account as the organizer and the work account was added as a member. Since then you have removed the account and disbanded the family. Now you have Family in Reminders and Calendars. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

     

    Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support

    Can the family organizer leave or disband a family group?

    The organizer will keep the family calendar, reminders, and shared photo album in their account.

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care

    Hi Mario49,

     

    I read the article you recommended but I am not happy about the results.  Having the family calendar is an annoyance every time I sync with iTunes.  Apple should allow the deletion of the family calendar when family sharing is disabled.  I cannot think of a single reason why you would want to carry it on your device when you are not using it.  "Just in case" isn't a good answer.

     

    Thank you for pointing out the answer though.
