Hi & thanks for the swift reply.

I am using Time Zone support in iCal Advanced settings. I have multiple time zones to adjust my appointments when I am in various countries, which is tremendously helpful. However, after a while the list grows and I like to see only the countries/ location that I need, hence need to modify the list (e.g. delete the "India Standard Time" entry). I am attaching a screenshot below, hoping that clarifies.

Thanks!

Can you post a screen capture of what you want to remove exactly? Give a more precise description too. It is not very clear where it is.

Press Shift-Command-5, frame a meaningful area, look in the options where the picture file will be saved (desktop by default), and press Enter. Add to the discussion with the second-last icon (mountain and moon) at the bottom of this text field.

I don't know of any built-in method, but there's a way.

Select your own time zone and quit Calendar.

Launch Terminal and paste the following line, followed by the Enter key.

defaults delete com.apple.ical RecentlyUsedTimeZones

I'd be happy to, but it won't let me...
