Remove shared and group calendars

When you open these calendars in Outlook, they are added to the Folder Pane in the calendar. This enables you to quickly view the calendar in the future with only one click.

To remove shared, team, group, and SharePoint calendars, do the following:

• Right-click the name, and then click Delete Group or Delete Calendar.

The calendar is removed from the Folder Pane and no longer appears in the calendar. The calendar itself isn’t deleted as you were only viewing a copy of the information.
