Unable to delete CalDAV calendar

Hi,

Have you tried removing it from iCal's Preferences > Accounts tab?

Best wishes

Try the following:

If calendars are reappearing it may be a problem with your Sync Services. Have you reset your sync history?

Go to iSync. Open its Preferences and click the button that says "Reset Sync History". Wait for that process to finish (the button becomes available again).

When you have done that, try to remove the calendar again.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Same problem here. I have a caldav calendar in my 10.5.3 iCal for a server that I no longer have access to. I can remove the calendar in the Accounts settings, but when I restart iCal the calendar re-appears.

I tried running Directory Services to see if there were any references to the iCal server I used to use, but didn't see anything obvious.

Exactly my problem too. I was just about to post my own topic about this and found this one by searching.

I also want to remove a CalDAV server that is no longer in use. It won't delete from iCal | Preferences | Accounts. It reappears each time iCal is restarted.

It is self-evidently a bug (in other words an engineering defect).

I think Apple must know about this. It will be fixed sooner or later but it as doesn't seem to be causing any problems it is probably low priority.

In general, I would like to see more effort in the whole area of group working and Leopard server, as it is hardly the plain sailing as suggested on the Leopard server marketing pages.

Similar problem here. Somehow iCal created (in cooperation with iSync and Plaxo) 191 Calendars! I cut off plaxo and iSync now but I am not able to delete those calendars. I already deleted data here:

User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal
User/Library/Caches/Metadata/iCal
User/Library/Calendars
User/Library/Application Support/iCal

But everytime I restart iCal all the 191 non-sense calendars are being set up again. 😟

How can I restart with iCal from scratch?

Success! It turns out that iCal and iChat (and possibly others?) use a "managed" plist file to keep track of accounts managed by Directory Utility.

1. Quit from iChat and iCal.

2. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/ and look for
com.apple.iCal.managed.plist
com.apple.iChat.Managed.plist

Take those two files and move them to the trash.

3. Start up iCal and iChat, and delete the offending accounts if they're still there.

4. Restart both and verify that the accounts don't reappear again. Ta da!

Man, thanks so much. I have been trying to get rid of this calender for months!

Thanks!
