Deleting corrupt iCal calendars

Hi Andy,

Is it possible to delete it directly via the files stored at ...

Make an iCal database backup as I suggest in the other post.

Close iCal and open your User's Library > Application Support > iCal > Sources. Open each folder in turn and look at the file 'Info.plist'. Find the one whose Title key contains your calendar's name. In a text editor the relevant part will look something like:

<key>Title</key>
<string>Calendar name</string>

When you have found the folder for your corrupted calendar then move the file 'corestorage.ics' of that folder to the Desktop (to import later if all goes well).

Open iCal and the calendar should now show an exclamation mark by it. Click this and from the dialog that appears choose 'Reset'. With the calendar still highlighted in iCal go to the File menu and select 'Import...' and navigate to your Desktop and open the 'corestorage.ics'.

The process of importing should (hopefully) clean the faults in the calendar.

Let me know how you get on.
