Calendar: Remove old invitee addresses

I had a similar problem. Names & email addresses I didn't know (but were from my large workplace) showed up when searching my Calendar. They appeared under People or Invitees in the search results. I finally realized it was due to Events I'd been invited to YEARS ago. Their Invitees included those 'unknown' folks. I deleted or declined the old Events and now all is normal with searches. The problem was in finding the Events! Hope this helps: I spent months searching for hidden files/contents, indexes, LDAP directory services (sometimes used by accounts in Contacts)...

Hey, not sure if this has been solved since its an old post. I was having the same problem on my iphone, an old email address that my wife used at one point kept coming up as a suggestion for an invite. The problem only presented itself when inviting from my iphone, if I used my macbook pro, the email address did not show up.

I was able to remove the email address from the suggested invitees by opening the calendar app, clicking on the "Calendars" link in red at the bottom. Once in there I unchecked all the selections that add things to my calendar. Like Gmail, Work, Calendar, Home, Family, Facebook Events, etc...

I then went to create a new event, the old email address no longer came up as a suggestion. I went back and rechecked all the boxes that were previously checked and my calendar was repopulated with all the expected events, but that old email address is no longer a suggestion for newly created events.

Hope this helps.

You can delete caches , cookies , saved application contents from user library ~/Library , also delete address Book plist , in preferences folder > com.apple.addressBook.plist

Can search in pending events , temporary file , incoming if any thing is found right click & delete to trash , restart & empty the trash .

Did this ever get figured out? I have the exact same problem with an incorrect email I accidentally used to invite someone and now it won't go away, despite trying all the thing you tired in this thread.

Hi ,

Open contacts from launch pad or applications select the incorrect mail and right click on it and click on delete card . So . The incorrect mail id is removed from contacts .After that you can add correct email address in contacts and invite to events but that is not asked in the question so I am not giving the method how to do .

Open web mail > take cursor on top menu bar click on window >click on previous recipients .

A window appears in search field type incorrect mail address then you can click on remove from list .

To add correct mail id click on add to contacts .

Now open calendar , click on plus sign to create an event .and send mail to the person having event attached with it .

Open calendar take cursor on top menu bar > view > click on refresh calendar .

You can do it in another way :

Open calendar its preferences ( can use command + comma to open calendar preferences ) > select accounts click on push the account is updated automatically when you make a change .

I doubt it's a corrupted file, cause it's the exact same thing that has happened to me and, like you, it doesn't happen when sending invite from my mobile devices. Must be something coded in the OS. I'll re-post to this conversation if i find a solution.

> Email Cache.plist right click on plist & move to trash , restart & empty the trash.

Help! how do i remove these spam addresses?
