How do I unsubscribe from a calendar (i.e. delete a calendar subscription)?

Calendars are processed by the calendar application and that's where they're unsubscribed. Unsubscribing can only be done in the macOS Calendar application, not at WebCal.Guru.

Please note that these instructions start from the assumption that the macOS Calendar application is using its default settings. Depending on your case, it is quite likely you do not need to perform all the steps. Step 6 is the most important one.

The removal process has changed in the newer versions of macOS Calendar. If you're using a newer version, please take a look at calendar removal in newer versions of macOS Calendar.
