Delete a subscribed calendar on iPhone

I also have this same issue, except it's an old outdated "Canadian Holidays" subscription listed under "Other". I've tried everything to try and get rid of it, but no luck. I guess I'm not the only one having the same issue. I hope Apple fixes this soon. I guess all we can do for now is uncheck the tick box for it, so some of the holidays don't show up on the Calendar twice.

I had the same problem with a calendar I just added today, but then I realized that pica was right that you have to go to "accounts/calendars," but that there are a few more steps, as detailed in an answer to a similar thread:

"Tap Settings > Accounts & Passwords > SubscribedCalendars. Tap SubscribedCalendars, and then tap the calendar that you want to delete. Tap Delete Account, and then tap Delete Account again to confirm. The calendar subscription is removed."

This worked perfectly for the calendar I'd just added.

That being said, I wanted to delete a race calendar subscription that I added over a year because at ten or so events a week it swamps my personal events, but I can't delete it because it does not appear in settings or in the list of calendars on the Calendar app. The only solution I could think of is to use the Google calendar (which I already added to Calendar) for personal events and reserve the Calendar for sporting events, which just means I need to remember to assign personal appointments to the right calendar when I enter them.

The above solution doesn't apply because for those of us who are experiencing this bug the "Subscribed Calendars" menu option simply doesn't exist (is not shown) when you select Settings > Accounts & Passwords. The only thing that appears is the heading "ACCOUNTS" with all of the accounts on the iPhone.

However, when inside of a calendar app, you will see the offending "Other" calendar that you wish to remove. In my case this is "US Holidays".

Apple needs to fix this bug.

I'm using iOS 11 on an iPad. I find that "Settings > Accounts and Passwords" does not take me to anything related to subscribed calendars, although I have seen this solution offered elsewhere on the Internet as well. That section of Settings allows me to toggle Calendars (not individual calendars) off and on, but that's all.

Any help will be appreciated. In the OP's screenshot, what I'm trying to do is equivalent to deleting "US Holidays" under "Other". In my case, it's JP Holidays. Merely unchecking it will not serve my purpose, which I won't go into.

I have the exact same problem. sorry I cannot help. I too am waiting for Apple to fix this stupid problem they created. I don’t recall previous iOS versions having this problem.

Poor quality assurance testing by Apple.

Very dis

This had worked for me.

Open Calendar app

Select any date

At the bottom of the screen press calendar

This will then take you to this page

Press the i on the holiday calendar you want to get rid of and select delete from the bottom of the page

Think the "Calendar" you are trying to remove is the wrong one, on mine the iOS puts the "Holidays" under "Other", the same for "Birthdays" and "Siri Found...", these three can't be deleted, just unselected.

Try removing the "Canadian Holidays" that's under "iCloud".

This is how mine are on iMac and iPhone,

I might be wrong but if you put a Subscribed Calendar under iCloud it gets synced across your devices, but those devices already have a Holiday Calendar option (you just have to enable it under "Other"), so you end up basically putting two on your devices.

You can't delete the 3 default calendars provided under "Other", namely Holidays (for your region), Birthdays and Siri Found by Apps, they can only be deselected if you don't want them to appear in the calendar itself. If you have more than 3 under "Other" then not sure how those "extras" go there because it shouldn't be possible, any user added calendar should be placed under iCloud or another user created section.

Glad it helped, and yes, you are right it's not a fix for the "missing" calendar on the Mac. If you do a search you should find several discussions on missing holiday calendars, if memory serves me it was a bug but also had something to do with your Language setting, I believe those with the issue had some generic setting and if changed to the specific country/language all was well again.

I have mine set to English UK for language and United Kingdom for region, might be worth playing around by setting another then returning back to your own to see if it kicks the inbuilt holidays calendar back into action.

Settings > Accounts and passwords

I've discovered something. Since subscribing to a new calendar, I find that "Settings > Accounts & Passwords" does contain a Subscribed Calendars section. Unfortunately, it contains only the new calendar. The one I want to delete does not appear.

So the problem persists, as far as previously subscribed calendars are concerned.

I found a workaround to this issue. It may cause other undesired outcomes, but it did exactly what you are asking.

Settings > General > Language & Region > Region

I selected Yemen > Done > Continue

After force-closing the Calendar app and reopening it, my "Canadian Holidays" Calendar listed under "Other" disappeared. I'm guessing there are other regions where no holidays calendars are created, but this Holiday Calendar seems to be directly linked to your Region.

If you want it gone that badly, there's your option. 🙂

Be careful doing that because you are messing with Location/Region Settings and it may impact on other areas of the system.

As I posted above the system puts several Calendars under “Other” and these are not ment to be removed, just deselected. If you have a Holiday Calendar under “iCloud”, then that’s the one you should be trying to remove.

I seem to remember a while ago some had trouble getting the Holiday Calendar under macOS to work and the only solution that Apple put forward was to Subscribe to it separately until a fix was found - these “duplicates” could be a left over from that period.

Select the Information button (the circle with the lower case 'i') beside the calendar you want to delete. Scroll down to the bottom of the pop-up screen and select Delete Calendar. Note: Since iOS 7, Apple has automatically added a 'Holidays' subscription to your iOS device that cannot be deleted, just hidden. It shows up under the Other tab.

I think I may have stumbled upon the solution.

If you go to Settings>Accounts and Passwords there is a section there called Subscribed Calendars where you can select each one - scroll down and there is a Delete Account option. Press it and breathe a sigh of relief!
