Unable to remove "Ghost" calendar invitation

I left a company several months ago, and I had repeat events sent up (weekly huddles, catch ups, etc). The account is gone form my phone, but the event invitations have remained as an "invitation". When i decline it, it just reappears.

Help welcome!

Can't delete SPAM meeting invitations from iPhone 13 IOS 17.1.2 I have an iPhone 13 running IOS 17.1.2 Yesterday I received an invitation to a SPAM recurring meeting. I chose 'decline' but the invitation stayed on my iPhone AND a second nearly-identical invitation popped up, then a third! When I click on any of the invitations, there is no option at the bottom of the screen to Delete or Decline the invitation. I've gone into Settings and could not find any unknown accounts, either in Passwords or Calendar. I can't seem to find any way in which these invitations are unique. Help! How can I get rid of them?

Invitation expired Exited from family and now organizer sent another invitation. When clicking the invitation I get ‘invitation expired’. Organizer sends invitation again but I don’t get it.

Cannot delete Declined calendar invite I have invitations to repeating meetings on one of my calendars that persist. Some are years old. I can decline them everyday, but I am generally notified about the invitation again just a few minutes later. They are really cluttering up my calendar and my notifications and I do not know how to make it stop. When the invitation comes up, I only have the option to accept, decline or respond maybe. I have tried all of these but it is worth noting that none of them stop the persistent invitation notices. If I accept, decline or respond maybe, it will "take" for a moment or two and then it will revert to an invitation and I will get notified again. I am not presented with an option to Delete. If it matters, these are coming through a Yahoo calendar. Please advise because it is making the Calendar app unusable.

Hi there CMHTIE,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

We understand you have invites to a calendar that will not go away. Is that correct?

We advise checking the calendars on your device to make sure you have not added, or subscribed, to any you do not wish to. Take a look: Set up multiple calendars on iPhone - Apple Support

If you have a work calendar, you can deselect it.

If you're still having an issue, we recommend contacting Apple Support for additional assistance: Get Support

Take care.
