Can’t get rid of Spam event in Calendar

I can’t get rid of this Spam event which has appeared in my Calendar. I’ve looked up all the ways to delete it mentioned in Discussions and online but nothing gives me that option. I’m not subscribed to any dodgy calendars.

I’ve declined the invitation but it immediately restores itself.

I’m hoping it will disappear when the fake deadline passes but I don’t like the fact that these messages can even get through.

I expect better from Apple.

Yes, I did. The message was connected to a weird Vietnamese Outlook calendar which appeared. I have checked various solutions in past posts but nothing works. They tell you to check for subscriptions but nothing shows up.


I just unchecked the calendar so I’m not seeing it. I would like to delete it completely.

If you are using Outlook for your activities, that’s its own thing, and something best asked of Microsoft, or asked of your IT group if this is a business or organization.


Based on a quick look, here is a write-up in the Microsoft forums for dealing with something that might potentially be similar:

I will try the Microsoft forum's. I’ve stopped using the Outlook calendar because it’s such a pain. I could never sync it on my Apple devices.

I've switched to ical or whatever it’s called now.
