japanese characters under mail app fetch new data settings

I'm on iOS 15.1 on iPhone SE 2020. Whenever I go to set up fetch new data (Mail>Accounts>Fetch New Data) an unknown Japanese word appears under calendar. Does anybody know what this is or how to get rid of this. My device is from the US not from Japan and the region is set to US and language to English (US) and Nepali but no other languages.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hello Virav Shreshth:


That appears to be an unknown calendar account that is added to your iPhone. This unknown calendar may have been added to your iPhone accidentally by clicking on a website pop up notification. Good news is that you can manually remove it.


Open Settings ➔ Calendar ➔ Accounts ➔ Locate and Tap on that Unknown Calendar ➔ Delete Account.

Thanks for the suggestion Alex F. But the problem is I can't see the unknown calendar anywhere except inside the under Mail>Accounts>Fetch New Data and Calendar>Accounts>Fetch New Data. Meaning it doesn't show up under accounts.
