Can't Delete Subscribed Calendar from iCal 8.0

Thanks dsteed but this hasn't solved it for me.

Amazing!! I have been driven mad by the fact that I when I put an event on my MAC calendar, the minute I tried to change it to a 'day' event, the item disappeared from my calendar!! But when I checked either my iPad or my on-line cloud calendar, the event was there.

There certainly seem to be a lot of glitches in the Mac iCal program since I installed El Capitain!!

Thank you.

gayleen7, I had an issue that sounds identical.

If you are creating/editing and setting a recurring event, it can "disappear" when this is not selected:

View -> Show All-Day Events

That drove me mad until I figured it out... Big updates were released today... maybe we will get lucky.

Kathykate, I had the same problem. None of the suggestions in this thread helped.

Then I opened an alternate calendar application, BusyCal. When I right-clicked on the calendar name in BusyCal, the delete button appeared. I deleted the calendar, went back to the Calendar application and refreshed the calendars. The calendar was no longer in the list.

If you have an alternate calendar application (or if not, see if you can get a demo), try it.

Thank you Eric!! This has been REALLY annoying! You are the only resource I have found for this issue!! We are trying now.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! It totally worked!

Awesome! Totally solved it for me too! Thanks!

I've got the same problem/question. I was able to delete one of the unwanted calendars by going into iCloud on the web, but there's one - a subscribed Outlook calendar from my spouse's old job - that I can't delete no matter what I try.

Hi Loretta,

I have the same problem as you. Were you ever able to resolve it?

Hi Patrick,

I went into Busycal but no delete option is appearing for me? Oh man. I really want to solve this. Any ideas?

Thank you Eric, that was so helpful! I searched for days for this, such a simple solution! Thanks so much!

WORKED! THANK YOU!!

JIC someone else needs this.... So what happened to me is I use google calendar for my daily life and had subscribed to a calendar. ICal wouldn't let me delete it because (I came to find out later) it was the only calendar "I owned" and you have to have one. I fixed it by logging into the iCloud.com website and going to calendar. I clicked "edit" at the bottom left and then tried to delete the account. It then told me I had to have at least "one account I owned". So I made a new account called "Stupidity" and then was able to delete the offending subscribed account. (Stupidity then showed up in my computer iCal, so I changed the name to something more appropriate)..... I did not try making a new iCloud calendar in the iCal program and then seeing if I could delete the other... but that might work... Hope this saves some people hrs of *** pain.

I love you some much right now. I've spent hours today trying to get this off my computer. Success! It's been there for years and years. Thank you so much!
