Calendar alerts are the usual cause of this. Please confirm that there is no subscribed calendar, per the previous links.


If there is no subscribed calendar here and restarting does not clear this...


If you have an add-on VPN client app in use here, remove that and test again.


Failing that, Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data
