Delete a calendar on Mac
Some calendars can’t be deleted.
You can’t delete delegated calendars, but you can stop showing them in the main Calendar window. See Unpublish a calendar on Mac.
If you can’t delete a calendar for a particular calendar account, try deleting the calendar on the account provider’s website. For example, to delete a Google calendar, go to google.com.
If a calendar account has only one calendar (not counting other people’s calendars you’re sharing), you can’t delete that last calendar.
Open the Calendar app on your Mac, click the calendar’s name in the calendar list.
If you don’t see the calendar list on the left, choose View > Show Calendar List.
