Unable to remove Other Calendar in Outlook.

Question

When attempting to remove an additional calendar in Outlook I receive an error message: "This group of folders is associated with an email account. To remove the account, click the File tab, and on the Info tab, click Account Settings. Select the email account, and then click Remove". There is no additional email account.

Answer 1

Here are a couple of ways you can try to remove the unwanted calendar in Outlook:

1. Close the Calendar Group:

• In Outlook, navigate to the calendar list on the left side of the window.
• Click the dropdown arrow next to "My Calendars."
• Find the unwanted calendar and right-click on it.
• Choose "Close Group" from the menu.

This should simply close the calendar group, effectively removing it from your view.

2. Use Account Settings (Even Though There's No Extra Account):

• Go to the "File" tab in Outlook.
• Click on "Info."
• Select "Account Settings" and then "Account Settings" again.
• In the window that appears, look for the unwanted calendar listed under "Data Files" or "Email Accounts" (depending on your Outlook version).
• Even if there's no separate email address associated with it, you might see the calendar listed there.
• Important: Do not remove any email accounts you actually use.
• If you see the unwanted calendar listed, try selecting it and clicking "Remove."

3. Try Outlook Web App:

• Log in to your Outlook account through a web browser using https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/outlook/email-and-calendar-software-microsoft-outlook.
• In the web app, navigate to the calendar section.
• You might be able to remove the unwanted calendar directly from the web interface.
