How to Remove an Embedded Calendar Subscription in New Outlook
Question details
The user needs to remove a subscribed web calendar that was accidentally merged with their primary calendar in New Outlook or Outlook on the Web.
- Product
- New Outlook, Outlook on the web
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to unmerge or delete an embedded web calendar subscription from the primary calendar view.
- Observed behavior
- There is no visible option in New Outlook or Outlook on the web to edit, separate, or remove the merged calendar subscription.
Verify whether the web calendar was added as a separate subscription or if its events were directly imported into your primary calendar, as this changes the removal method.
Remove from the Calendar List
If the calendar was added as a distinct subscription rather than fully imported, you can remove it directly from your sidebar list.
Launch New Outlook or Outlook on the web and navigate to the Calendar tab on the left sidebar.
Scroll through your calendar list under 'Other calendars' or 'My calendars' to find the subscribed web calendar.
Right-click the calendar name and select 'Remove' or 'Delete' from the context menu to unsubscribe.
Manually Delete Merged Calendar Items
If the calendar was imported directly into your primary calendar (merged), New Outlook currently lacks an unmerge feature, requiring manual deletion.
Submit Feedback to Microsoft
Since separating merged calendars is not officially supported, submitting feedback can help prioritize this feature in future updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my subscribed calendar merge with my primary calendar?
This typically occurs when an ICS file is downloaded and imported directly into the primary calendar, rather than being added via the 'Subscribe from web' option, which keeps the calendars distinct.
Is there a way to undo a calendar import in New Outlook?
No, New Outlook and Outlook on the web currently do not feature an 'undo' button for calendar imports. Once merged, the imported events must be deleted manually.
Where can I manage my active calendar subscriptions in Outlook?
You can view and manage your active web subscriptions by navigating to the Calendar view, clicking 'Add calendar' in the left pane, and reviewing the lists under 'Subscribe from web' or your existing calendar groups.
