There is no way to delete the events because they are from an invitation. I haven't accepted or declined the invitation (I don't want to respond to a spammer in any way). Every time I try and delete them, it just shows the event invitation. There is no way to delete the invitation itself--the only choices are: accepting, declining, or saying maybe.

I have had this problem too. I haven't found a way to stop them but a previous answer explained how to get rid of those you have received.


1. Create a new iCloud calendar (Edit - Add Calendar). The original post called their's Junk.

2. Move the spam invite to this new Junk calendar.

3. Delete the newly created Junk calendar and the span invitation disappears.


Worked for me. Good luck.

I had spam ads for sunglasses in Chinese lettering show up on my calendar. I went to Settings : Mail, Contacts, Calendars - scrolled to the very bottom of Calendars and toggled off "Events Found in Mail". It states: "Turning this off will delete any unconfirmed event suggestions and prevent suggestions from appearing in the Calendar app."

Not sure if this is a solution, but I can't think it will hurt to leave that off. I also changed my Apple password.
