How to remove Calendar spam?

If your phone has iOS 14: Go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts, Tap Subscribed Calendars, tap on the offending calendar and delete it.

Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Subscriptions.

Go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Subscriptions.

The only way a rogue calendar can be installed is if you allow it. As you have deleted the one that was installed previously you don’t have to take any further action, except to be careful in the future.

It did not access your iCloud; it just installed a local calendar on your phone.

The only additional thing you should check is for a rogue profile (they are installed the same way). Go to Settings/General and scroll to the bottom. Just below VPN there may be an entry called “Profile” or “Device Management”. If there isn’t your phone is clean. If there is, tap on it, review any installed profiles and delete any that shouldn’t be there. There are legitimate profiles, but these should be easily recognizable. For example, a beta profile if you have a beta version of iOS installed, or a company or school profile if your phone is part of a company or school network.

You are probably running iOS version 14.x. If you are then  Go to Settings ➔ Calendar ➔ Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.

If you are using iOS 13 or older then Go to Settings ➔ Passwords & Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.

Actually, Settings/Calendar/Accounts, Tap Subscribed Calendars.

If you have iOS 14 go to Settings/Calendars/Accounts and look for the rogue calendar.

go under settings, calendar, accounts. That’s where I found the bogus calendar account that I could delete.

If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account. 

You were following instructions from 14 months ago.

That setting is now Settings/Calendar/Accounts/Subscribed Calendars

On an iPad: Go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts, Tap Subscribed Calendars, tap on the offending calendar and delete it.

Go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Subscriptions.
