Calendars won't delete

Have had issues with fake messages appearing via Calendars app & followed some steps to prevent this which included deleting certain calendars from the app. Problem is, I delete them and then confirm deletion but they still show . Can anybody help with this?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Are you seeing something as shown in the pic below? This is neither a hack nor a virus. It is spam and you can get rid of it. Read below...



You need to unsubscribe the Calendar



Then probably you have accepted an offer or subscribed for a spam Calendar accidentally. Watch the GIF below to know how to unsubscribe from these alerts. Look for an unknown Calendar on the device under subscribed calendars.

If followed those steps and the calendars keep coming back, you might want to take a look at this. You may also want to avoid any questionable website that may be causing problems.

Thanks for very comprehensive response. I saw this online and tried it but the calendar in question wouldn't delete! I contacted apple and it transpired that there had been an update I missed - 14.6 , I think so they said install that and try again. Am in process of installing that then I will repeat steps 🤞🏻Thanks again
