Is there a way to reset the calendar completely?

I've tried to do this a few different ways, but none have been successful. the problem I'm having is when I launch the calendar, I'm immediately shown a progress bar and the message "moving calendars to server account..." But this just churns forever and all the other options are grayed out. I let it run for a full day last week and nothing happens. If it means I loose everything, fine. I can resubscribe to my remote/google calendars. But right now, this isn't functional at all. I've looked all over the support pages and elsewhere but can't find anything related to this. I'm running Mavericks on a Mac Pro.

thanks

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 4,1

Permanent fix.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.

Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

trash the callender foler in applications support (your library) and the .plist in preferences.

It will then rebuild from new.

All will be lost however.

in 10.9 apple made your user/you/library invisible.

There is s preference to fixc this, i cannot recall exactly where.

But if you select "go" in the menu bar, and hold 'options" you will see "libary"

If you are syncing to iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and un-check the Calendar box. Log out/in then reconnect to iCloud.

Eric--thanks so much. this worked!

Grant--I looked for both of these, but was unable to find either of them. This would have been one of my first attempts to fix this. Perhaps the reason I can't find them is there is no longer a user Library, or its now hidden. Older versions of OSX weren't like this.

thanks again to both of you.
