How do I unsubscribe from calendar in iOS7?

I accidentally subscribed to a calendar that I don't want on my iPhone running iOS 7. I want to try to delete it, but when I click on Calendars, the little information icon only lets me change the name or change the color of the calendar. If I click on edit, then I can click on the little arrow to access that calendar, however my options are the same as before: change the name, or change the color. There is no option to delete this calendar anywhere!! I can delete my other calendars, but it seems that when I have a subscribed calendar that I am permanently stuck with it. Is this a bug of iOS 7, or is there something I'm missing? I know that it's usually the latter, so hopefully someone can help.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

Just tried using my daughter's iPhone and I can delete the subscribed calendar.


BTW, I said send yourself another calendar to subscribe not subscribing from somewhere.

This might trigger the delete option.


Did you also tried the basic 4 Rs troubleshooting steps:

Restart:

1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.

2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.


Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data


Restore from backup

Restore as new

Lex,

It is disturbing to have something installed on your device without your consent and no way of getting rid of it.

So, just like nobbse, I want it gone forever. Trying to figure out a way to get rid of not only this particular sub but also any other in the future.

Don't you think so my good friend?


PS= I just updated my ipad. Same MacMini, same download and the subscription is not there as opposed to my iphone. Funny.

I noticed the same thing happening with my iOS devices, except that it was a US Holidays calendar that showed up unexpectedly. I think I found the source of this.


In the OS X Calendar program, go to Preferences --> General, and there is an option labeled "Show Holidays calendar". This option shows Holidays on your OS X calendar, and I guess that it is localized for your country. This is also the calendar that shows up as a subscription in the iOS Calendar app in the "Other" section of your calendar list. I think that you can't unsubscribe from this particular calendar because it is embedded in the OS X Calendar program.


Likewise, there's an option in the OS X calendar labeled "Show Birthdays calendar", which corresponds to a Birthday calendar subscription under "Other" in the iOS Calendar app. You can't unsubscribe from this particular calendar, either.


I found this because I had already subscribed to an external US Holidays calendar subscription, and found that I was getting duplicate entries for US Holidays. I've since unsubscribed to the external US Holidays subscription, and am using the Holidays calendar embedded in the app.
