Unwanted / Spam Calendar Event will not Delete

I have an unwanted calendar invitation that I have declined but within a second it’s back in my calendar. How can I stop this?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

There is no “unsubscribe” option on the spam calendar event.


I have deleted the calendar for now but it is not a spam calendar, just the one entry.


I also cannot block the email address as there isn’t one (it shows as “congratulations” even when I tap to see).


Are there any other options?

Hello UnwantedCalenderEntry,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with your calendar.


If using iCloud, please check this help article: Report a junk calendar event invitation on iCloud.con - Apple Support


Also check this article: How to unsubscribe from calendars on your iPhone - Apple Support


If you still can't find anything, please check these two places: Settings>Passwords & Accounts, do you see a strange email account listed there? If there is, tap on it and then Delete Account.


Or, if you go to Settings > General > Profiles, is there anything listed there?


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
