Erasing/deleting fake calendar entries.
I inherited several fake calendar entries from a web site today, and I can’t delete them. How do you delete those kinds of entries?

Hello USAFA68!
From your post we see you are running into some trouble with phishing calendar entires appearing on your device. We want to help get rid of them! You will want to follow the steps shown here: Delete spam calendars and events on iPhone.
Take care!
The problem that you describe is very easy to resolve.
It is highly probable that an inadvertent click on a website link has “subscribed” an additional (unwanted) Calendar to your device - and this unexpected Calendar is exposing unwanted calendar events or sending you unexpected “virus” or other warnings.
Given that infecting a non-jailbroken iPad/iPhone with actual malware is incredibly difficult, this technique is employed by malicious Actors to fool or encourage you into doing something untoward - more often than not, parting with personal or financial information leading to fraud or attempted extortion.
You need to check for what’s out of place...
Settings > Passwords and Accounts
Look for an “account” that shouldn’t be in the list of accounts - as this will likely include the Calendar that contains all the unwanted events. When you find the suspect account, tap - then select Delete Account. This should resolve the problem in its entirety.
I hope you find this helpful in finding the source - and in resolving the issue if an unexpected Calendar is found
Go to Settings > Calendar > Account > then delete the account you're not familiar with
