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'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I also have this same issue, except it's an old outdated "Canadian Holidays" subscription listed under "Other".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.

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.

I think the confusion lies with the fact some are seeing "Holidays" under another section (and not just "Other"), ie. it might appear under iCloud or another subscribed area. Now I could be wrong, but if an Holiday calendar appears elsewhere then it was added by the user and should therefore be able to be removed by said user.


But if for example you added or subscribed to an Holiday calendar on your Mac and it was placed in the iCloud section, although it would be available across all of your devices, removing it might mean doing so from the device it was added (ie. the Mac). I think this was mentioned before, but some time ago Apple had issues with the "in-built" Holiday calendar appearing (under "Other") and the only work around was to subscribe directly, but if the in- built started working again you ended up with two until you removed the user added one!


I believe the issue in this discussion with regards to removal of certain calendars depends on several factors, are they default App in-built (ie. tick box activated), user added on a per device basis, user added and placed under iCloud (so they appear across all devices) and subscribed (either per device or under iCloud), all except the in-built will have a specific way to remove depending on how they were added.


If I've missed anything or got it mixed up I'm sure someone will help correct the above, but that's how I believe the Calendar App functions.

Similarly, I have no “subscribed” calendars, only a shared calendar that is one of several calendars associated with a gmail account (LA Dodgers game schedule calendar). There is no way that I can see in iOS 11.2.6 to edit or remove, either in settings or on the calendar app, any calendar. I would be content to toggle it off, but notifications still keep coming, despite the notifications toggle being “off”.

Thank you, this answer was really helpful.


I have an iPad, iPhone, Macbook and I use iCloud to sync across. I found "Holidays" was in-built under Öthers" calendars in the iPad and iPhone, but were not appearing on Mackbook and iCloud. I suspect that calendars that are under öthers may be stored locally and not shared across iCloud.


Since I wanted the holidays to appear across all devices, I subscribed to a "holiday" calendar from the internet, put it under iCloud, and hide the in-built holidays calendar on the iPhone and iPad. You can hide the calendar by click the button "calendar" at the bottom of the app when calendar is open and uncheck the in-built calendar. This is just a simple way to make the double entry disappear, but is not a deletion fix.

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.
