Cannot delete event from Calendar

Same issue here. I had recurring events that I deleted from my Mac's Calendar app, but they remained on my iPhone. Of course, iOS Calendar has no event delete option, so it was stuck there.

Here is my workaround:

- Create a new calendar. I called mine 'Junk'

- Go to your unwanted iPhone event, open it, then change it to 'Junk'

- After you have changed all your unwanted events to 'Junk', go to your Mac and delete the 'Junk' calendar

@Manny,

You'll have to log into the cloud from a real computer. icloud.com then delete the calendar events on the cloud as welll. I am certain this take care of your problem, it worked for me. Happy 2014!

First you need to find out which account the offending calendar belongs to (you can find it in the event details)

then go to settings/main,contacts,etc...

Tap on the proper account

Then disable the calendar linked with this account (confirm deleting it from the iPhone)

Finaly re-enable the calendar and let it sync.

I discovered something about this problem with calendar event. . . . I have an app called awsome note that connects with iphone calendar . . . and I was able to delete all the event that has no edit or delete button… It really works… Maybe if you have other memo apps that connects with iphone calendar that will do too (I'm not sure though but with awesome note, it was excellent). Hope I was able to help.

You control what apps have access to your calendar from the settings menu.....I only discovered this when I installed the latest ios update and all of a sudden all facebook events(accepted/declined/unaswered) all showed up in my calendar....in the setting menu, you can turn off any apps access to your calendar....hope that helps some of you!

I had a similar problem with a recurring event that I declined on my mac but continued to show up in my iphone without any option to delete.

I logged into my icloud account https://www.icloud.com and found an option to delete the rogue event there.

Waitied a short while for it to synch with my iphone (approx 2 min) and bang it was gone.

Hope this helps.

I think i found the solution. Open up your calendar app in your iphone. Then click on "Calendars" on top left. Under the "On My Iphone", check if you have your email calendar checked. Do unchecked those. I have mine sync with gmail and that causes the problem. After unchecking and left only "home" "calendar" "work" and "birthdays" checked, click on "Done". Your calendar should be back to normal. Hope that this help.

I guess it is a matter of having both your iCloud calendar and your iPhone calendar open, deleting the event from your iCloud account (via web-browser and your computer) and waiting untill you see it delted from your iPhone too.

If this doesn't work, then try using some thrid-party utility to delete your iphone calendar event.

I found a method to do so. I gathered this method from webforums.

open calender app

select calenders on top left hand corner

ensure that "all icloud" option is ticked

this should select calender item with a tickmark

Wait for sync of calender entries with your i cloud account

go to web browser

log on to www.icloud.com

log in with your apple id and password

when signed in, all apps that sunk with i cloud are shown

select calender

goto the first day on which this even is entered in the calender

select the event

you wil find delete function

select delte event

it will prompt that the deletion of event will be intimated to the person who invited you

accept.

the even is deleted from icloud and your iphone

done.

I had the same issue. I connect my iPhone to my Mac and opened calendar. Selected the even and went to edit, delete event. It will prompt you to select all events or just that one. Select all future events. When the phone finished sync the event disappeared from my phone calendar. Hope this helps

I did what Seshadry listed above and it worked for one series of repeating events but not the other so what I did is this. .. Follow Seshadry instructions but if you get a "response to invitation can not be saved at this time" (or something like that) error do this... Select the first occurrence of that event in the iCloud calendar hit the backspace or delete key on your computer when it asks if you want to delete all future events hit yes. For whatever reason I had to redo this a couple of times because it didn't actually delete the future events but then suddenly it did. But the events still appeared on my phone. So go to settings in your phone go to mail,contacts, calendar. Under calendar there is a button that says sync change it to say "all events" instead of ( going two weeks backs or a month back or whatever.) Then as soon as your phone syncs it should delete the events.

I HAD the exact same problem. About a year after the recurring event ended I got fed up and tried to google it. So, after I read this thread, I felt I should share my experience. FYI, my problem is fixed, NOW.

Go to Settings;

mail, contacts, calendars

Scroll down to the bottom and turn off all calendars

Confirm that you'll delete the calendars (You gotta ensure you have backed up your device)

Then turn em' all back on, and accept the merge.

This fixed my problem.

I had some issues with itunes a while back, and I was fortunate enough to get to IM with an Apple rep... we did this type of thing with my contacts... I had it all setup wrong and I thought it was the cloud that had flaws. Well, when he walked me through those steps, my contacts problem was fixed, and I thought it might do the same trick for my calendars, and it worked.

I hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is when your smart device is a little too smart. Still a devout Apple patron.

OK my wife just figured it out she was having the same problem on her iPhone 5. On the calander page where the event is listed hit inbox on the bottom right corner then on next page hit done on top right corner when you go back to the event the edit button reapears fot that event.

I have an event that will not allow me to delete "All Future Events", I try and it stays and says "Maybe". It has no spot to delete it. I have tried to undo my calendar and it hasn't helped... any ideas?
