Go to Settings>Accounts & passwords>Subscribed Calendars ( if you see a different calendar than the one you want to delete) you have to tap on Subscribed Calendars to view all calendars you are subscribed to. Then select the required calendar from the list of caendars , and tap Delete Account at the bottom of the page. I hope this will be helpful. Have a good day.

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.

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 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. User uploaded file

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.

Sorry, should of added that if you have any additional Calendars (other than the three default ones) under "Other" it's likely that it's been added by the user at some time, those should be removable via either of the two methods previously described. I haven't tried so can't confirm if user added calendars can actually be saved under "Other" or not, so thought I should include the above just in case.

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.
