Get rid of Facebook birthdays from calendar iOS 8.1

I am using iOS 8.1.3 and I cannot get rid of Facebook birthdays from my calendar. I turned off calendar and contacts under the Facebook part of the settings menu and I have even tried completely removing anything related to Facebook from my phone but they won't go away.


Does anyone know how to get rid of all these birthday events from my calendar? I like to use it to see when I have an actual even but now my calendar has something on every day which isn't helpful at all.


Thanks for any help.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails

- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)

- Relaunch the App and try again.

- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)

- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)

- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)

- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.

- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
