Can't delete an internet calendar from Outlook

E posted on Monday, August 25, 2008 6:46 AM

Hello ...

Running Outlook 2007 on Vista SP1. I subscribed to a few internet calendars,
but now they're obsolete so I want to get rid of them. Thing is, Outlook
won't let me.

First, during Send & Receive process, I get the error: "Task 'Internet
Calendar Subscriptions' reported error (0x8004010F): 'The operation failed.
An object cannot be found.'" Which seems to me to be that the internet
calendar has moved (this is why I want to delete).

But when I try to delete, I get this error after the confirmation: "Cannot
delete this folder. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties to
check your permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or your
administrator to change your permissions. You don't have appropriate
permission to perform this operation."

Thing is, there's nothing in Properties to indicate permissions; everything
under the Administration tab is greyed out and un-selectable except for

thanks

Hi, Diane -

Sorry I have been offline for a while. I have not tried that, just tried
right-clicking. I will try it when I get home tonight.

Hi, Diane -

I tried the Tools, Accounts method you suggested, and I could delete it - at
least it said it was deleted and didn't give me an error, but once I said OK
and returned to the calendar, it was still there.

The internet calendar just won't go away. Sometimes, there are multiple
copies of it (in the left-hand nav bar), sometimes just one. But even though
I can delete the duplicates, I can never delete them all - one always stays,
even if I use the method you suggested.

Any thoughts?

You need to use the /cleansharing switch - clean sharing will remove RSS and
sharepoint subscriptions - so you should export the RSS feeds before doing
this and will need to set up any sharepoint links again.

Hi, Diane

I tried the /cleansharing switch method, and while it did clear out my RSS
feeds, it did nothing to delete the internet calendar subscription. Any other
ideas?

Thanks

You'll need a new profile if the removal methods aren't working.
