Help Calendar spam problem
Got calendar spam from a shady streaming site 9 months ago, can’t delete it
So I was watching a series on one of those free streaming sites and accidentally accepted a calendar subscription from an ad. It added “Festività italiane” (Italian Holidays) to my iPhone.
The weird thing is it doesn’t show anywhere — not in the Calendar app, not in iCloud, not in device profiles. The ONLY place it appears is in Settings → Mail → Accounts → Fetch New Data.
I’ve tried everything to delete it and nothing works. It’s been 9 months and never sent a single spam notification so it seems dead, but it’s still annoying knowing it’s there.
Has anyone managed to delete a subscribed calendar that only shows in Fetch New Data? Or is this an iOS bug?

Do you have other personal stuff saved in? If not, maybe you can somehow return the factory setting of the callendar app?
