Lots of these social-engineering scams around, too. Click or tap > Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Or tap the Calendars button at the bottom of that image, find the subscribed calendars block, and find the orange-colored subscribed calendar, tap,the information ℹ️ button to the right of the subscribed calendar, scroll down, and select delete.
