Do you have a work calendar you no longer need that's synced to your iPhone? Did you accidentally subscribe to a spam calendar? Or do you just want to delete an entire calendar you created yourself? Whatever the situation, deleting a calendar you no longer need on your iPhone is simple and quick, requiring only a few steps.
Two Options to Delete an iPhone Calendar
You have two options when it comes to removing a complete calendar from your iPhone. You can either hide the calendar from view or delete it completely from your device. We'll talk you through each option below.
How to Hide a Calendar on iPhone
As an example, you may wish to remove Apple's standard US Holidays calendar. Unfortunately, Apple won't allow you to delete that specific calendar completely. Instead, you'll simply need to hide it.
To do so, follow these steps:
- Open the Calendar app and tap Calendars at the bottom of your screen.
- Find the calendar you wish to hide and deselect the button to the left of the calendar.
You can do this with any calendar listed. Now, when you're looking through your calendar, you won't see any events tied to the hidden calendar.
How to Delete a Calendar on iPhone
If you want to go ahead and delete the calendar for good, follow these steps:
- Open the Calendar app and tap Calendars at the bottom of your screen.
- Find the calendar you wish to delete and tap the info icon to the right of it.
- Finally, tap Delete Calendar at the bottom of the menu options. Then, tap Delete Calendar again to confirm.
It's important to note that once you delete the calendar, there's no going back. Be sure you want to delete it completely and all of its associated events prior to moving forward.
