I deleted a calendar subscription but it re-appears in a few minutes.

Apple devices synchronize calendar subscriptions with their iCloud service. Usually this works automatically and well.

Sometimes this synchronization fails. When you delete a subscription, this deletion is not sent to iCloud, so iCloud does not know about it. When the devices download the current status of iCloud calendars, the deleted calendar is still there, and it reappears.

Since the issue is with iCloud, it can't be fixed by WebCal.Guru. Please try the following in order.

Step 1

Reboot the affected device.

To do this, open the menu and select Restart…

After the Mac has rebooted, try to delete the calendar again. If the issue has not been fixed, please continue to the next step.
