Removing imported iCal file from calendar

I imported an iCal file into my main Calendar - I would like to remove it from that (because it's a shared calendar and others don't need to see the dates to which it refers) and re-import it into an unshared calendar.


Is this possible, and if so how can I do it?

MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Hello, gordonfromfoxt.

It's my understanding that you want to remove a shared calendar and add it back again separate from your main calendar. I have an article that may help, check it out: Calendar Help

Add or delete calendars

Create separate calendars for different areas of your life—work, home, school, and so on. Each calendar has its own color. When viewing multiple calendars, you can see which calendar each event belongs to based on its color. To change an event’s color, move the event to a different calendar or change the calendar’s color.


Add a calendar

  1. Choose File > New Calendar, then choose an account for the calendar.

  2. Name the calendar, then press Return.

If you can’t add a calendar for a particular calendar account, try adding a calendar on the account provider’s website. For example, to create a Google calendar, go to google.com.

Delete a calendar

  1. Click the calendar’s name in the calendar list.

    If you don’t see the calendar list on the left, choose View > Show Calendar List.

  2. Choose Edit > Delete.

    Some calendars can’t be deleted.

    • You can’t delete delegated calendars, but you can stop showing them in the main Calendar window. For more information, see Share calendar accounts.

    • If you can’t delete a calendar for a particular calendar account, try deleting the calendar on the account provider’s website. For example, to delete a Google calendar, go to google.com.

    • If a calendar account has only one calendar (not counting other people’s calendars you’re sharing), you can’t delete that last calendar.

Add a calendar group

You can create calendar groups in the On My Mac section of the calendar list.

Select a calendar in the On My Mac section of the calendar list, then choose New > New Calendar Group.

If you don’t see the calendar list on the left, choose View > Show Calendar List.

If On My Mac is not listed, your calendars are in an account, such as iCloud. To add On My Mac, choose File > New Calendar > On My Mac.

To add another calendar to a group, drag it onto the group name. To remove a calendar from a group, drag it to the On My Mac heading in the calendar list.

I hope this helps.
Cheers!
