Cannot delete/edit imported calender (read-only cannot uncheck)

Post by epuhzgis »

Hi
I am using 8.63.

I imported Formula one calendar and there's no way to edit/delete any of them because everything is greyed out.
Could you help me how I can modify/edit/delete? Thank you very much in advance

Hello,

please go to Tools-> Options and check "Subscriptions" and "Synchronization-> Google" Appointment belongs to one of those. You can remove calendar/subscription.

Thank you Max for a quick reply.

I am sorry I was not clear; F1 calendar is not subscription or synced calendar.
It was downloaded and imported manually as ical.

Thank you so much

Do you have an example of such ical file? I would like to reproduce the problem. Please upload it here or send to ma@essentialpim...

Hi,

I have this issue too. I have a old loaded iCal Calendar that I cannot remove, for it is greyed-out & read-only.

In my case I seem to remember it was once part of my Google profile. I believe in that I imported this calender in my Googly Calendar, and recently I removed it from my Google Calendar, with the intention to included it as a EPIM ical Subscription. But I never properly unloaded the subscription from my Google sync with EPIM, and that is why I believe it is still part of my EPIM database. I think that EPIM, as a consequence, marked these items as greyed-out & read-only, for the source is no longer available to EPIM (no longer part of my Google Calendar). I hope Max can see if such a scenario is possible, for I am only remembering and speculating :-). Due to the greyed-out & read-only status I cannot remove the items myself, and that is a pity.

Just my thoughts on this. Hope it helps

Finally found it. I forget which F1 calendar I downloaded.
https://www.racefans.net/contact/f1-fanatic-calendar/
Here, I think I downloaded the ical version but possible I clicked "Add to F1 session times to your calendar".

Hope you can help me get rid of them. Thank you in advance.

It does not look like imported iCal. As I mentioned above, please go to Tools-> Options and check "Subscriptions" and "Synchronization-> Google". You can remove calendar/subscription.

You have synchronisation with Google calendar. This particular calendar (F1) may be added to your calendar as read-only calendar and the events coming from there. Check Tools-> Options-> Synchronization-> Google and see if you have this calendar (F1---) synchronised with EPIM. Uncheck it, synchronise again and events will dissapear.

Thank you Max! This was it! I can see it on Google Calendar on the webpage as "subscribed" and synced with my Epim as read only as you guessed it right.
Apologies I didn't remember correctly since it was long time ago.
